Bio
Cathy Gray
Charles served as the lead architect on a major expansion (10,600 square feet) and renovation project for our facility, serving children with complex medical and developmental needs. He provided an analysis of our space use and challenges and used this as a foundation to identify creative facility options to better meet the needs of the children we serve. Our classrooms are now models for other providers for children with significant disabilities. In a second phase he guided the comprehensive renovation of the existing 20,000 square feet, all in a building occupied 24 hours a day. His vision and expertise were great assets to this process.

Charles guided my company in the conversion of a 1922 manufacturing plant into our new corporate headquarters that includes facilities for our adult day care center. The results are dramatic and spectacular. I was particularly impressed by his attention to detail. Charles and his staff clearly were able to understand what our mission was and to merge what we needed with what we wanted. I believe we were very well served. The interior design of the building is an excellent merger of what we needed and what we understand would be most efficient as well as aesthetically pleasing. I believe Charles’ design work allows our agency to work well and to do so in a very pleasant, uplifting and high-quality environment. Charles’ architectural skills, his technical abilities and his ability to envision and execute exceeded our expectations.
