Accurate assembled the team of architect Devereaux & Associates, interior design firm HH Designers, and landscape architect Melillo & Bauer to create innovative indoor and outdoor spaces that offer a modern take on Gold Coast living.
Trinity Church, Boston, Massachussetts (1877) H.H. Richardson, a singular individual who made a practice of wearing monks' garb on a daily basis, created the Trinity Church in a style that became known as 'Richardsonian Romanesque'. The structure's rounded arches, broad earthbound tower supported by four piers, and articulated masonry, signaled an optimism and exuberance for solidity that has been repeated in churches and civic buildings across America.
Over Presidents' Day weekend, I traveled back to Buffalo (where I grew up) and was able to take in the 84,000-square-foot, zinc-clad building located at the center of Buffalo's museum district along the Elmwood corridor. Not only is the new center next to the famous H.H. Richardson Buffalo State Hospital buildings (beautifully captured at night by Christopher Payne in his book Asylum), but it is located across the street from the renowned Alright-Knox Art Gallery (with an expansion designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore Owings & Merrill) and near the city's Frederick Law Olmstead park.
