Modern Preservation & Reinvention
A valued client since 2012, this investment advisory firm selected CPG to reinvent their home from a once deteriorating saddle shop into their state-of-the-art headquarters. Our goal: preserve the harmony of the exterior façade while restoring and adapting the space to meet the changing needs of the firm.
EXTERIOR:
To maintain harmony with the adjacent buildings, the existing brick façade was preserved and highlighted with factory style windows, standing seam metal awnings, storefront entry, and exposed structural canopy — all in a sleek black finish. An inviting entry allows for an abundance of natural light.
CREATION OF OUTDOOR SPACES:
- Enhancements include safe pedestrian pathways with native plantings, new outdoor gathering points, IPE wood raised planting beds and stone walls to buffer and soften the site.
- Technology and security improvements include, fast charging EV stations, a 280 KW backup generator and an exterior barrier arm gate to prevent unwanted parking on the property.
INTERIOR:
An efficient and crisp working environment with ample conferencing was created through:
- An open plan layout with a monumental staircase and glass elevator enclosure allows light and visual connection throughout the building.
- Light woods, clean lines and soothing colors as the backdrop for artwork.~A large lower-level pantry designed to interact with the outdoor spaces providing flexibility as entertainment space.
It was a pleasure working with the Town of New Canaan through the Planning & Zoning process to help our client achieve their goals while balancing it with the Town’s aspirations.
