The CRI Boathouse is characterized by rigorous repetition and measured pattern-making. Operable ventilation shutters provide natural light and air-circulation to the boat storage area, a wave-like pattern of louvered panels provide privacy to locker rooms fronting the street, and tempered glass shingles at the detached sculling pavilion serve as a three-dimensional billboard for the organization’s public activities. All systems were developed in a unitized fashion including custom aluminum supporting elements.

Project Awards:
2014 AIA Honor Award
2010 Research + Development Award Citation, Architect Magazine
2009 Harleston Parker Honor Award
2008 Progressive Architecture Award, Architect Magazine
