St. Michael Special School was entered into the Restoration/Rehabilitation/Adaptive Reuse Category

This is a high-level restoration project with a sensitive, well-executed, addition. We appreciated the new structure’s form and detailing, and how it acknowledges the context and original architecture without being repetitive nor cartoonish in its approach. The restraint of the addition’s interior is compelling, especially the use of indirect natural light. This was a tightrope of a project, gracefully balancing old and new.
