Beschreibung des Verlags
preserve and correct If you think single-family houses have complex programs, try incorporating one within a hardworking government building. That was the task the Commonwealth of Virginia handed John Paul C. Hanbury, FAIA, when it selected his firm, Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas, to restore and renovate the executive mansion in Richmond, Va. The Norfolk, Va.-based architect was charged with not only remodeling the 14,000-square-foot mansion's private quarters, but also rescuing its deteriorating reception and dining areas, reorganizing inefficient office space, and updating an antiquated service kitchen. He had to do all this while meeting stringent handicapped-accessible codes, providing for security needs, and assuring a design committee that he was spending taxpayer dollars wisely. Not exactly your everyday residential remodel.
