Friendship Village of Dublin
Renovation and Addition

The challenge offered by the owner was to substantially update the appearance of the community entrance and public areas of an exclusive 1970's retirement community. A new mansion-style entry was designed to give the original non-descript modern facility an inviting focal point and residential appeal.

The addition includes, on the first floor, the main lobby with a fireplace, a billiards room, offices, a tastefully renovated stairwell, and a highly-detailed library/boardroom with a fireplace. The second floor, a multi-level dining room extending over the porte cochere below, features coffered and sloped ceilings, exterior balconies and a two-sided fireplace. The extensive use of wood moulding and rich residential detailing throughout the new and updated existing areas creates an inviting atmosphere for residents and visitors.
