ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

gbA is a design-orientated architectural studio located in Montpelier, Vermont. We have a total staff of eight,

including three principals, two registered architects, two architectural designers, and an office manager. We are a

small studio that stresses 100 percent principal participation and a “hands-on” teamwork design process. We

believe that Architecture is an art achieved by collaboration. Our designs are inspired by culture and place resulting

in environments that are a joy to inhabit.

EXPERIENCED TEAM LEADERS

gbA’s design process emphasizes open studio collaboration, so that every client benefits from each member of

gbA’s highly experienced team. By involving the firm’s principals in all phases of the project, we achieve a

consistency and thoroughness that many larger firms fail to provide. Our approach maximizes opportunities for

creativity, and has produced numerous award-winning designs for highly satisfied clients.

CLIENT SERVICE

Our intention is to provide innovative design with a high level of client service. We feel that our personalized team

concept is the reason that much of our work is from repeat clients and direct referrals. We believe that the ability to

combine client and user input with innovative design, in a technically competent and cost effective structure, is one

of our firm’s greatest strengths.

OVERVIEW

gbA Office Entrance, Montpelier


OUR PHILOSOPHY

The communities in which we live and work are our inspiration. Our daily interactions and working collaborations continuously refine

our thoughts on architecture and place making.

COLLABORATION

Architecture is, in part, the art of collaboration. We engage our clients and building users as critical participants in a productive

dialogue through all phases of a project. It is this essential exchange that allows us to create interiors and built spaces that both meet

the specific needs of our clients and provide welcoming, aesthetically pleasing spaces.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We believe that our designs and business practices represent our values concerning economic, social, and environmental

issues, and that the built environment should enhance the greater community.

PROGRAMMING

The first product of our collaboration is a series of sketches that explore the function, quality, mood, appearance, massing, scale, and

adjacencies of buildings, as well as initial material concepts. During programming, we simultaneously assess the opportunities and

challenges of a given project: site considerations, project cost, sustainability issues, and the building’s cultural context. These sketch

ideas are tested and refined based on client input to formulate a design concept that is both appropriate for the place it will occupy

and a realization of the client’s functional and aesthetic needs.

DESIGNING SUSTAINABLY

Our practice of Architecture explores design, construction systems, and sustainable strategies to best address the immediate and

future needs of each project. We are continually refining both design and building methods to align with current building science as a

way to minimize each project’s environmental footprint. We work within our clients’ means to build, design, and detail in a sustainable

way, as well as to develop innovative solutions that address the specific needs of a project’s users.

EXECUTION

We oversee the construction of every project to ensure that work is performed to the exacting standards of our clients and ourselves.

SCHOOL PROJECTS & REFERENCES

UVM Redstone Campus Project


The U-32 High School and Middle School project in East Montpelier, Vermont, produced a state-of-the-art educational facility with a 70,000sf addition in coordination with 120,000sf of renovated spaces. As a whole, U-32 was a cost efficient combination of energy-wise construction, mechanical/data systems, programmatic organization, and educational philosophy, all melded together with sensitive architectural design. The High School and Middle School were set apart architecturally via a chain of multi-purpose public spaces. A courtyard at the main entry leads students to the primary administrative and support areas. A second ‘courtyard’ atrium acts as a circulation hub, connecting all primary hallways to the library, student support, the science laboratory and green house, and related classrooms. A third exterior courtyard leads students to the play fields and provides a backdrop to the middle school amphitheater, or sitting steps. Other improvements to the facility include a new gym, three new exterior playing fields, a renovated cafeteria, and upgrades to the weight room, auditorium, music spaces, classrooms and dance studio. AWARDS 2015 EPA’s Vermont Energy Star School

U-32 HIGH SCHOOL & MIDDLE SCHOOL


This project in South Royalton, Vermont, involved a 14,000 sq ft addition to an existing gymnasium. The design includes an entrance connecting classrooms to the new gym, a fitness center, locker rooms, lab renovations, and extensive site circulation improvements, including designated bus and car drop-off lanes. The addition is near the street, creating a village presence while reinforcing the existing street wall. The turret corner-window is based on local historic buildings and attracts pedestrians to enter the site. The curved entry-canopy echoes the shape of the bus drop off and welcomes children with ‘open arms.’ The project was constructed under budget, which allowed the school to install a building-wide sprinkler system with the savings.

SOUTH ROYALTON SCHOOL


Additions and renovations to the Harwood Union School in Duxbury, Vermont, involved 112,600 square feet of existing building and 45,000 square feet of new construction. The total budget was $5.8 million. New construction for the high school and middle school included a library and computer room, classrooms, laboratories, a gallery and multi-purpose room, a music studio, an art room, a lecture hall, a student services wing, and significant landscape improvements. Today, the design offers a rich and varied arrangement of spaces that supports the educational philosophy of the school. Middle school class areas are organized for thematic teaching and learning with resource rooms introduced between grouped classrooms for utmost flexibility. Facades with large expanses of glass strengthen connections between the building and its surroundings and admit generous amounts of natural light. A new main entrance with a sweeping roof structure and pergola provides visitors and students with a sense of arrival, while a three-story vestibule to the south gives people coming from the parking lot a cheerful and dynamic side entry. The Senior High terrace with a sloped front yard and curved walkway, planters, benches, retaining walls and groves of trees ties the building to the site, and offers sunny places for students to gather.

HARWOOD SCHOOL


An approximately thirty million dollar architectural/landscape and renovation project, the New Athletic Campus will upgrade the existing facilities to a state-of-the-art sports complex. Simultaneously, the athletic complex will be given a new sense of place, presence, and physical form, on campus. The complex includes an athletic events plaza, a student athlete success center, new artificial turf fields, and a complete upgrade of the existing athletic campus facilities. The master plan includes a multitude of improvements, some of which include a sunken outdoor stadium with artificial grass, lighting, press box, and an air-supported winter roof for winter, as well as an urban pedestrian walk, locker and storage facilities, an events-plaza, and a secondary artificial turf field. Additionally, an administrative building will be added to house a box office, as well as offices. Other athletic additions to the campus will consist of a new track, 6-8 tennis courts, several natural grass recreational fields, and a variety of landscape elements intended to support pedestrian connections and exterior spaces surrounding the Gutterson/Patrick Gymnasium.

UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT ATHLETIC MASTER PLAN


St Johnsbury Academy teamed with a local developer to create a four story mixed use building in downtown St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The program provides 12 dormitory rooms for the school on Levels 2, 3, and 4, a space for St. Johnsbury Academy’s culinary classes and the relocated Hilltopper restaurant on Level 1, and a common room for students, a community banquet room for 150 people, and support spaces on Level 0. The total square footage for the occupied floors is approximately 32,000sf. In addition, the developer proposed to create a community park between the new dormitory and existing church. This is an important site since it is partially in the historic downtown area. This project would replace several buildings that had burned down and will revitalize a now empty lot. The design intends to be harmonious with the massing and character of the adjacent structures, while still being of the time. The café window and brick veneer wrap the corner to continue the character of Main Street along the parklett. The intent of the parklett is to have a small green space adjacent to the building for the town and occupants. An amphitheater connects Levels 0 and 1, so that the new banquet hall and parking can easily be accessed by Main Street. This also makes parking more convenient for the occupants of the building.
