HONOR AWARD / NEW CONSTRUCTION
James Island Town Hall
Simple, elegant orchestration of the two buildings provides excellent zoning, clear sense of public and semi-public spaces and a strong potential for public engagement.
DESCRIPTION
The material palette for the new town hall was inspired by the surrounding vernacular buildings with gable roofs, horizontal wood siding, shutters and porches. The Mayor and Town Council envisioned the new complex as being the living room for the Town. The design explores a familiar local character, embracing a restrained and sensible structure expressed through a simple interior and exterior tied to a linear plan.
