I'm trying to build a photo library of extensions to Historic Buildings. Mostly interested in what is happening in the USA.
You know the ones which meet the standards of the Department of Interior Regulations, 36 CFR 67. All information will be helpful.
Come on folks I'm not only interested in what the banging Architect be doing, I'm talking about in your Hood!.....Nothing happening to
those old buildings....with extensions? I don't need pictures just names cause I can google and come up with something.
don't know about complying with the standards you mentioned but Google the term "para building" and you'll find articles about what you're describing. I've looked at a few condo jobs like this - Fuller Lofts in Los Angeles, The Boston Building in Pasadena.
snooker- I haven't dealt with the 36 CFR 67 compliance, but I am in a NRHP boundary so I am SURROUNDED by minor anonymous residential scale extensions to historic buildings. What type of pictures can I get you?
Do you want to see some construction photos to Boise's capital building?
It is historic, they are adding two subterranean wings, I go by it at least twice daily.
check out david baker's project at folsom and dore.
i think it complies well with the sec. of interior standards: setback at vertical addition, clear distinction between the new and the old, etc. but the standards are really hazy and can be applied arbitrarily.
Hillier's expansion to the Virginia capital is the best building they've ever done...because it's underground where no one can see it haha. The concept and issues driving the addition were well derived however.
I saw their preservation expert speak last month and it was so great how casually he spoke about the ease of getting the state to double the budget from their initial estimates of around $50 million to the $100+ million they actually ended up spending. Getting a client to shift from a $12 million budget to a $13 million budget is hard enough.
Here in is the question: "9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment."
massing... looking at dba's project.... the addition is more like a neighborhood around a historic building.

With Best Regards.....the snooker
the only thing i can think of off hand would be the nelson-atkins, which probably doesn't apply.
this for project research/precedent study material?
anything is helpful along these lines
what about the addition to the Guggenheim?
East Wing extension to the National Gallery, Washington D.C.
morgan library by renzo piano, in nyc? plenty of images on that floating on the web.
don't know if norman foster's hearst tower also in nyc would qualify...

swiss embassy by diener & diener, berlin
ps. no idea if they meet those standards you mentioned
oh and of course this is brewing up, we hope it turns out as a good example.

match to existing.
minor anonymous residential is perfect....FRO....
nothing clouds the historic character of a building like 'match to existing.'
cool snooker, I'll gather some pics when I get a chance

joge_c....nice project but no mention of hdc or department of interior standards.....if there were I would be jumping all over this one.
