FOLLOW-UP
Extending the relationship.
Take a minute to think about all of the players, the processes, the details, the modifications that must be managed during the course of a construction project. Whether it’s communicating with people, tracking progress, managing documents, or troubleshooting issues, the architect is the client’s advocate. This may take the form of advancing or defending the client’s interests, or perhaps, offering constructive advice or alternate solutions. With so many moving parts, the existence of proven, trusted relationships fosters the setting for the most successful projects. At Belli, we create relationships across the industry, as a connector, supporter and advocate for others. Your success is our success.
Case Study
Arroyo Seco Academy
Greenfield
Challenge: The School District has grown and the current elementary schools are over impacted. This new elementary school will alleviate the crowded elementary schools and also allow for a district wide performing stage for elementary level arts and presentations. Cesar Chavez Elementary School was designed by Belli AG for the same school District and was requested to be duplicated as much as possible to become a 'sister school' to Arroyo Seco Academy.
Solution: Each project is site specific and a previous design will need to be modified to make the existing site work. Rethink school approach and frontage as well as rotate the classrooms 90 degrees.
Results: Improved upon an existing design delivering a school the community is proud of while staying within budget and time constraints. Filled the district's void for an elementary level performing art space.
