Payette has been selected as the Architect for the new National Coast Guard Museum being planned for New London, Connecticut. Working with the team of Urs Guchat and Tony Santos, we will be designing the new facility which will also include a Block Island Ferry Terminal and a State-funded pedestrian overpass for crossing the train tracks. Located in the heart of downtown New London, the project will help shape development of the city’s waterfront and reinforce economic development in the district.
The Boston Globe covered the emerging waterfront development in New London, including the new Coast Guard Museum. From developing residential opportunities to cultural ones, the city is committed to reviving its downtown.
Located along Boston’s famed Emerald Necklace designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Klarman Building responds to the presence of this green space to create a state-of-the-art center for inpatient care and healing. In addition to extending aspects of nature into the building through orienting views and finishes, the Sky Garden allows patients, family and staff to find healing in the landscape.
Happy World Landscape Month!
