Sarasota Modern Feature in Architect

“The Project is on a campus that was built in the 1930s, and has been added on to at various times. Our site is at the end of one of two pink stucco wings that expand the original 1931 museum building, and on the other side of our site is a 1970s gray stucco academic building that houses offices, a library and meeting rooms. The showcase part of our project-the jewel in the ring-is an entry pavilion to the museum’s Asian art collection, and its design comes from a desire by the client to have something different, with its own identity, that is a representation of the lovely collection inside and the status of Asian art at the Ringling.”
