JCJ Architecture Receives Honor From AIA Connecticut
JCJ Architecture, the forward-thinking and nationally ranked planning, architecture, and interior design firm, has announced that the firm’s concept for the Mill River Park Whittingham Discovery Center has been recognized with the Award of Excellence in the “Unbuilt Category” among this year’s AIA Connecticut 2019 Design Awards. Demonstrating JCJ’s visionary approach, the Discovery Center concept is a critical component in the Mill River Park Collaborative’s (MRPC) plans for the 28-acres of renewed public parkland and greenway in the heart of downtown Stamford.
“JCJ was delighted to be invited by the MRPC in 2017 to propose schemes for a Discovery Center that would enrich and energize this unique greenspace in downtown Stamford,” said Peter G. Bachmann, AIA of JCJ Architecture. “While we were not selected for this important commission, our team is very proud to have been recognized by AIA Connecticut for the design of a facility that would function as both a sustainable and multi-faceted destination within the park and a structure that strongly engaged the landscape.”
