Government Architecture
 

We design municipal buildings that respond to the individual and unique needs of each of the communities we serve. Our design approach to this building type is to listen intently to the specific needs of the user group(s) and provide solutions that meet all of their functional requirements as well as the civic and political goals that each governmental entity sets forth. This building type includes City and Township Halls, Police Stations, Fire Stations and Judicial Centers. 





16th District Court
Livonia, Michigan

The 16th District Court, located in the Civic Center complex of the City of Livonia, will complement the existing municipal buildings while improving the functionality of the court for all users. The court will have two full courtrooms, one magistrate hearing room, court clerk support space and an active probation department.


Lenox Township Hall

Lenox Township, Michigan

This is Michigan's first LEED Certified township hall. The public areas feature large windows carefully screened to reduce solar gain yet provide fabulous views of the rain garden. Each private office has an exterior window for natural light.


41-B District Court
Clinton Township, Michigan

The 41-B District Court was formerly housed in two separate facilities. The three communities in the court's jurisdiction consolidated operations into one facility. The classically inspired exterior of the new building pulls materials from the nearby Fire Station and will create a common language for municipal facilities in the area.


Grand Blanc Police Headquarters

Grand Blanc, Michigan

The new Grand Blanc Township Police Headquarters building is the first construction project on a planned municipal campus. The traditional design of the Police Headquarters includes a brick-and-stone façade and is reminiscent of days past, yet it houses some of the most advanced computer, security and surveillance technology available.


52-3rd District Court

This court facility is situated on a 9.2-acre parcel and houses two separate county functions; The courthouse and Sheriff's substation. It is designed to allow a future property division between those two functions.


Northville Municipal Hall

Northville Fire Station

Northville, Michigan

Contracted by the government and public safety officials of the Charter Township of Northville to design a new fire station, police headquarters and township hall. Originally, the township offices were combined with the police and fire departments in a dated, cramped facility.


47th District Court
