TUPPER HALL ENDICOT T COLLEGE B E V E R LY, M A
PROJECT SIZE:
2,000 SF
Addition to a manor house originally built as a summer “cottage” on the Endicott Campus. Although the hall was being used for classrooms and conferences, it was not large enough to accommodate large functions. The size of the ballroom was doubled and the interior completely renovated without compromising the building’s classical fabric. Tupper Hall also serves as a focal point for Endicott’s graduate studies programs.
The conservatory is topped by an octagonal lantern clerestory. Classical details such as French doors, crown and dentil molding, acanthus leaf brackets and arching transoms, create the illusion that the conservatory was original to the home.

New orientation center at an historic site in Portsmouth, NH. The structure is located on top of the foundation of a 20th century workshop, thus reducing the impact on sensitive archeologic treasures suspected to exist underground. Further accomodation was made by modifying the existing grade, elevating the structure, and using insulated spread footings that virtually eliminate any damage to subterranean cultural treasures. The building reflects the merchantile structures that are documented to have existed on the site in previous centuries.
