- AIA Rhode Island Merit Award for Architecture in Rehibilitation, 2021
Rehabilitating and revitalizing an existing building is one of the most sustainable things that can be done for the local environment, and when it is for a company that is rooted in the community and looking to stay and grow, it can have a profound positive effect on the local and regional economy as well.
Located in Warren, Rhode Island, a town with a long history of manufacturing, the building owner and TPI Composites wanted to ensure that their manufacturing facility would allow them to remain in their current location and continue to prosper. But their current building was outdated and in need of upgrades befitting of an innovative global manufacturing corporation. They wanted corporate architecture that reflected the ethos and DNA of the company’s identity: manufacturing, fabrication, and innovation.
