Last week I took a trip down to Providence to visit one of my recent projects, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island Headquarters. I had a heckuva time finding it since it was a new address that my GPS didn’t recognize, but I found a shuttle bus driver who not only pondered the best route, explained it to me in detail, and then followed me there and jumped out at a red light to run up and tell me to make sure I stayed to the left. I don’t know how I could have missed it…it’s a gorgeous building in downtown Providence, right on the canal and a stone’s throw from the State House.  The architect is Symmes Maini & McKee Associates and you can read a little more about the project here.

I also checked in on two of my past Providence projects, the Westin Residences, and the Providence Public Safety Complex:

Ten years ago a visit to Providence would have been a completely different experience, but Providence has grown into a beautiful and vibrant city with lots to see and do, and most importantly, plenty of doors to look at.  🙂

There are still plenty of sad doors if you know where to look
(or if you get lost a lot like me)…

And some interesting applications…

But lots of cool stuff too…
