Michele Gucciardi, Design Director explained, “For this amazing project we wanted to combine two materials that would accomplish both these objectives; fitting and becoming an extension of the neighborhood and community, and standing out as a special and unique building.

The brick masonry allows the building to relate to the neighborhood and accomplish the first objective, the MEG panels instead add that note of individuality and character that elevates the architecture and reflects the institutional quality of the edifice. The MEG colors chosen suspend the areas treated with this material between the warmth of wood and the eternal qualities of stone.”
