The Bellows Falls Garage project, which created 27 units of affordable housing and was completed last year, has been recognized by The Rockingham Preservation Trust with a 2024 Rockingham Old House Award.

"Windham & Windsor Housing Trust is being specially recognized for its outstanding efforts in conserving the historic landscape of northern downtown Bellows Falls. This is the first time in the nearly 30-year history of the Old House Awards that recognition is being given for historic reconstruction."

The Caledonian Record @therecordnews recently published an article about Kingdom East School District`s Facilities Analysis and Master Planning process which has been guided by gbA. (Swipe for QR code to access the KESD Facilities Analysis webpage to find in depth information)

Currently, Diantha and Steve are attending community forums at each of the 7 schools to present conceptual designs, share updates, and provide an opportunity for people to engage in discussions, ask questions, and provide input. Community engagement is vital to this planning process. Shown here is Diantha presenting at Newark Street School (photo by Andrew McGregor).

Below are excerpts from the article by Andrew McGregor:

"McMannon [KESD Superintendent] said the process of identifying needs, priorities and potential for each of the district’s seven schools was important for the district to complete both as stewards of the district and facilities and for the future of the communities."

"Korzun and Kredell said their objective was to essentially design a “road map” of where the schools could go, to meet needs, such as ADA compliance, and achieve broader objectives, such as expanding programming and facilitating wider community use. They also noted that the plans, as presented, were just another part of a longer process that will continue to evolve in the months ahead."

We want to introduce Sophia Levy, gbA`s fall intern and a 3rd year architecture student at the University of Cincinnati who is also pursuing certificates in Green Roofs, Sustainable Landscape Design, and Urban Design. She is inspired by architecture’s ability to create spaces that improve lives. Sophia enjoys spending her free time exploring natural beauty, reading, experimenting with different art mediums, and making sweet treats that go with the current season. She is excited to learn and grow this semester with gbA, and we`re so happy to have her here!

Alex Aftuck, the newest architect on the gbA team, joined us in the spring. He brings a passion for design and the desire to create simplicity, using less while getting more.

In his spare time, Alex can be found hiking or running through the woods, swimming in the summer, or working on his house and gardening with his family. Fun fact: Prior to being an architect, Alex was a math teacher!

gbA field trip! We toured some past and current projects in Barre and Montpelier.

Our first stop was at the @rockofagesvt Visitor Center which received an AIA VT 75 Year Award in December, and Gregg presented them with a certificate.

Our tour also included the Montpelier District Heat Plant (photo 2), @vermontfoodbank (photo 3), Montessori School of Central Vermont, One Taylor Transit Center and Housing, and @kellogghubbardlibrary. It is always a pleasure to have our staff together to see and learn about the spaces gbA has worked on. Many thanks to all of our hosts for so generously making time in their day.
