Commercial, Healthcare, Institutional and Government
Today's economic climate is such that projects need to be energy efficient as well as flexible in layout to facilitate changing functional needs. As building codes become more stringent with respect to "green" and sustainable building requirements, it is imperative to seek out firms that have the resources and knowledge to meet these demanding requirements. With reduced budgets and maintenance deferral, it becomes even more important to plan equipment and select appropriate building materials and finishes such that operations can be efficient and maintenance costs reduced.
Historic Preservation
Our region has a rich heritage in historic preservation of its built and natural environment. This permits our communities to know where they've been, where they are and where they are going in their design and planning, in order to retain the vibrant quality of these communities.
Jeffrey D Shorn + Associates, Architects have taken an active part over the past 25 years in the preservation and adaptive reuse of our built environment and have been recognized for their contributions.
Aging-in-Place – Universal Design
The principles of Universal Design and "Aging-in-Place" have become an important part of all of Shorn + Associates, Architects residential design projects. These concepts are not only talking about addressing the needs of an aging population – although that's an important consideration – we're also talking about homes that are safer, more comfortable, and more convenient, whatever stage of life we're at. In addition to making living in a home easier, universal design is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable.
