About the Friends Center for Children:
This charming building creates a friendly environment for the very young child. The scale and warmth of its materials relate to the child, the primary user.
– AIA Connecticut 2015 Design Award

It’s good to know you can have good architectural design – light, airy, comfortable and efficient – and know that it’s also ‘responsible, green’ design.

The team at Patriquin Architects is extremely hands on, and efficient at following up on any issues critical to the construction schedule. They are very good at problem solving and team resolutions.
