Bagley Lofts Wins Design Award

Weber + Thompson, the architect and interior designer for Bagley Lofts in Wallingford recently won the International Making Cities Livable award for this project.  W+T was able to turn this challenging site into a successful loft project in Wallingford. The project was awarded for a few reasons:                                                        

• Strong intergration of the project's commercial and residential components.
• Successful parking solution and finely detailed facades.
• The project design appropriately reflects the scale shift between adjacent structures.

The condo was completed in 2006 with 43 lofts units and 3,300 square feet of retail space. Homes at Bagley Lofts range in size from 740 to 1,400 square feet. There are three types of units: studios, or standard loft homes; one-bedrooms, which consist of a loft with a separate alcove for a bed or an office; and two-bedrooms, which have a separate bedroom in addition to the loft space. The interior features concrete floors, tall ceilings and warehouse-style windows. Folks appear to really like living there; currently, there are no resale units on the market.

Some other W+T work also include 1521, 2200 Westlake and Cristalla.

Too bad WT is the dirtiest firm in the city. This building doesn't make up for the ugly monstrosities (900 Broadway awesome site -coulda been a jem for broadway instead it kills the surrounding blocks, Cristalla,-way to eff up a historical wall and wth is with the yellow line? nice CMU wall too, NOMA -hideous)

And Blaine Blaine Blaine. Who can forget his dirty maneuvers to delay competing firms projects while a member of the DRB. To this day he sends 2 henchman to every downtown DRB with the same bit -make complaints in an effort to require a subsequent meeting and hence several week delay.

Don't forget WT hates free speech. They got the newsies architectural critic canned when she rightly panned WT for how bad they're buildings were/are.

I disagree about Cristalla. I think it's a gorgeous building. I do agree the yellow line was definitely a miss, not sure what they were thinking but I have seen that colored band of light in Vancouver condos as well (I also find it to be unattractive).
