What are you working on? "We currently have numerous projects in design. These include the Herrington Residential Center for Rogers Memorial Hospital in the Town of Summit. This is a facility for individuals suffering from chemical dependency. We are also working on a design for an addition to the Ambassador Hotel, a premier art deco hotel, which will include a lounge, meeting rooms, pre-function and banquet facility as well as a new parking structure. We recently completed designs for an addition to the Chr. Hansen facility in West Allis as well as Canterbury Court, a condominium style apartment complex in Glendale. We are in the final drawing stage for a new condominium development in Brookfield near Capital Drive and Calhoun. Other notable projects include, the Indigo Hotel in Vernon Hills, Ill., and Crowne Plaza in the Milwaukee County Research Park in Wauwatosa scheduled for spring completion."
How does the market look to you? "The market to us looks very strong. We are currently very busy and we continue to receive RFPs, which indicates that individuals/corporations are looking to do projects in 2008."
What was the best deal you’ve ever been involved in? "By far the best was the purchase and renovation of the old St. Mary’s Church in Elm Grove that now serves as our corporate office. Not only did it save this local landmark from the wrecking ball, but also provided us with a creative and inspiring workplace."
