TEAM CRICHTON
On our first visit to our building, our group was slightly apprehensive about our assignment. We were initially a little overwhelmed with the amount of work that faced us, but after further investigation this fear has subsided. We realize our building, the Crichton building, has enormous potential for its owner and its surrounding community.
In addition to the building’s extraordinary potential is the building’s existing condition. In comparison to the other buildings in our program, our building is in a wonderful condition. Its Interior surfaces such as walls and floors are sound and are beautifully finished and trimmed with wood. These existing conditions will obviously be utilized and enhanced.
Once our team explored our building for the first time, we held our first client meeting. Right off the bat our owner, Carey Easley, had a very strong concept for the program of his space. He believed the building’s original use, a boarding house, was the most profitable solution for his program. After the conclusion of this meeting our team gathered our notes and began to further investigate this proposition. From this point we have also begun collaborating ideas, research, and drawings in efforts to assess the building’s program. Hopefully by Wednesday this collaboration will effectively produce helpful information that will enable us to further assist our client.
