We founded Centerbrook in 1975 as a community of creative problem solvers working together to advance place making and the craft of building. Seeking inspiration from the particular rather than the universal, we use specific details of program, site, surroundings, and cultural history in order to deliver a compelling sense of place.

Process

A collaborative firm with an exceptional history of building over four decades, we have developed an in-house road map for quality and budget assurance. We call our project management approach The Centerbrook Method.

Planning and architectural design begin by assimilating needs of program, site, fund-raising, budgets, and implementation. Practical issues are placed on a pedestal at Centerbrook. Solving a project’s functional requirements is viewed as an absolute requirement before any architectural honor can be truly deserved.

To advance its humanist bent, we invite stakeholders and users to become involved in the early stages of projects through the use of trademark participatory workshops. Workshops range from modest to extensive and even have included interactive television shows pressing whole urban populations to the planning of their cities. Fundamental to all our workshops is identification of design options and a friendly ear for participants’ preferences.

Place

Our office is a nineteenth-century compound of factory buildings alongside a millstream on the Connecticut shoreline. Since 1690 waterpower has been a principal feature, making ours one of the earliest Industrial Revolution sites in America. Our building continues that tradition today with a modern turbine system that generates electricity. Our community of architects and artisans continues our site’s long history of making. Our brick building’s open spaces, rough wood floors, and simple brick walls are conducive to creativity.

Several staff members have been with us for more than 30 years. Our architects hail from all over the United States and from many countries around the world. Their diverse talents make our factory a vital place of experimentation where design is enriched by many streams of influence.
