Gerstner Center

This building has evolved in its nearly-100 years history from a warehouse to its current guise: a Mid-century Modern office building with a classroom wing. Seeing that the building was in need of repairs, the owners asked PFA to modernize the appearance and make it more welcoming and energy efficient. Currently under construction, the building will have new bronze-colored windows with laser-cut metal screens, and bronze-colored metal cladding over its distinctive pilasters, adding a vertical emphasis to the façade. Interior finishes are modern yet warm, with blue-green tones to set off the classroom wing.
