About
Gardner Architects
It seems
most architecture firms have a specialty, that use group or
building type which they, by shear number, know inside out.
Our specialty is office buildings and the tenants of those buildings.
Over the
past five or six years we have done about one major office building
a year, in addition to the countless tenant studies that accompany
each project. What we thrive on, however, are the opportunities
that present themselves in between these office buildings to
apply our talents to a wide variety of project types. These
opportunities have meant that we have been able to design an
ultra modern automobile dealership, as well as redevelop historic
structures that had once been the livery stable and ice production
facilities for a number of breweries in Columbus, Ohio.
Residential
structures have also come our way, with an emphasis on design
for the developmentally disabled community. We recently had
the opportunity to alter the typical Habitat for Humanity house
design to meet the needs of two brothers with Duchene Syndrome.
This was the first such adaptation in the nation and marked
the first time Habitat had teamed up with a local board of developmental
disabilities to offer folks with disabilities an opportunity
to participate in the Habitat program.
Since our
inception we have emphasized use of the latest computer aided
design and drafting technologies. This has led us into 3D representations,
virtual walk-throughs and object linked data management. As
a result, our project documentation has consistently received
recognition from contractors on its conciseness and accuracy.
We bring this expertise to bear on projects of all scales, whether
theyıre six story office buildings or kitchen and bath remodels.
Much of
our work involves consulting work consisting of studies and
conceptual design in which we set the tone and design parameters
for an entire project. Many of the projects you will find mentioned
in this packet are the successful culmination of such conceptual
land use studies.
