SUMMARY:Tour of Lambert Castle
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteJoin Newark & Suburban\, in partnership with Preservation New Jersey\, for an exclusive tour of the recently restored Lambert Castle\, a Gilded Age landmark in the City of Paterson. \nLed by Michael Hanrahan\, FAIA\, Principal of Clarke Caton Hintz\, and James Giresi\, AIA\, Senior Associate\, the tour will examine the meticulous restoration work that has revitalized this historic structure. Hanrahan and Giresi will discuss the challenges and considerations of preserving the castle’s architectural integrity while adapting it for contemporary use. Participants will tour both the exterior and interior\, gaining a behind-the-scenes perspective on the craftsmanship\, materials\, and design decisions that shaped the restoration. \nTour Course Description (1.5 HSW Submitted) \nLambert Castle\, built in 1892 for silk manufacturer Catholina Lambert\, is a rare example of fully developed castellated residential architecture and is listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. Now serving as a museum\, library\, and meeting space for the Passaic County Historical Society\, the Castle is undergoing a multi-phase restoration led by Clarke Caton Hintz to address safety\, accessibility\, and long-term building performance. This guided tour will examine the restoration work from a health\, safety\, and welfare perspective. Attendees will review how exterior envelope repairs—including masonry stabilization\, mortar repointing\, and replacement of deteriorated wood windows—are preventing water intrusion\, improving energy efficiency\, and protecting interior collections. The tour will also highlight interior restoration strategies that pair historically accurate finishes with modern mechanical upgrades to enhance indoor air quality\, thermal comfort\, and climate control for sensitive artifacts. Participants will see examples of ADA integration within a historic context\, the use of emerging technologies and alternative preservation practices to increase building resilience\, and innovative funding approaches that support the continued safe use of historic public structures. The discussion will link each design decision to occupant health\, public safety\, environmental performance\, and preservation of cultural heritage. \nAbout the Speakers \nMichael Hanrahan\, FAIA\, was elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in 2025. He specializes in numerous project types\, including historic preservation and the adaptive reuse of historic structures\, institutional work\, and sports facilities. As a member of Clarke Caton Hintz since 1996\, he has been on the design teams for several historically and architecturally significant buildings. These include the restoration of Morven\, the former governor’s mansion in Princeton; the renovation of 200 Elm Drive\, the former boilerhouse for Princeton University\, for re-use as University office space; and the restoration of the Historic Hunterdon County Courthouse and Jail. Most recently\, Michael has led the ongoing phased restoration of the Hoboken Public Library\, numerous historic preservation projects for the County of Passaic\, including Lambert Castle\, and the rehabilitation of Hinchliffe Stadium\, a National Historic Landmark. \nJames Giresi\, AIA is a Senior Associate at Clarke Caton Hintz in Trenton\, NJ. His passion for the built environment and the design process is reflected in his versatile experience\, which spans from small-scale building repairs to complex historic restorations and large urban planning projects. James brings technical precision\, a focus on efficiency\, and expertise in BIM to every project. Throughout his career\, he has played a key role in preserving historic landmarks\, balancing the preservation of a building’s original character with its adaptation to modern needs. His philosophy emphasizes that historic structures should evolve to serve the past\, present\, and future. \nOne of James’ most notable recent projects was the restoration of Belle Vista (Lambert Castle) in Paterson\, a Gilded Age mansion that had fallen into disrepair. Through meticulous research and careful attention to detail\, James and his team restored the mansion to its former grandeur\, receiving acclaim for their work on restoring period-specific elements such as ornate moldings\, stained glass\, and plasterwork. \nIn addition to his architectural work\, James is a Board Member of Preservation New Jersey and an advocate for preservation across the state. He is also an experienced grant writer\, helping clients secure funding and raise awareness for endangered historical sites.

SUMMARY:Designing Sustainability: A Tour of a Custom Build and Passive House Retrofit
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteJoin Newark & Suburban for a guided tour of two homes that illustrate how thoughtful design can achieve high performance\, comfort\, and beauty — without compromise. Architect Chris Kellogg will lead participants through his own sustainably designed home as well as a certified Passive House retrofit\, both offering real-world examples of energy-efficient\, health-conscious residential design. \nSpace is limited! \n2 LU|HSW \nCourse Description \nWhether we are building new homes or renovating old ones\, many of us agree that going forward\, we must do it sustainably. That requires not only solid\, energy efficient housing\, not only housing that supports health\, but but it must also satisfy our esthetic needs. We don’t want to do it at the expense of style\, we don’t want to live in science experiments. People take care of what delights them. The two houses on this tour illustrate that. The first\, home of architect Chris Kellogg\, whose practice focuses on green\, sustainable architecture\, shows how adaptable\, how personal\, living sustainably can be. \nWhile Kellogg built the first house from scratch\, in important ways\, the second. which he renovated and added to\, is the newer one because when he began his home\, Passive House was little known in this country. Reconstructed a decade later than his\, the owners took advantage of even more rigorous construction practices to turn a generic 1950s split level into a certified Passive House Retrofit. \nPresenter \nChriston S. Kellogg\, AIA\, is the founding principal of Steele Kellogg\, established in 2007 with a focus on sustainable design. With over 30 years of experience\, he has worked on a diverse range of projects\, including disaster assessment\, hospital campuses\, clinics\, high-rise offices\, corporate interiors\, multi-family housing\, and residential designs. Christon holds degrees from the University of Texas (MSAS)\, Harvard University (MDES)\, Boston Architectural Center (BA)\, and studied French architecture at the University of Nantes. \nChriston’s philosophy centers on the idea that sustainability and beauty must go hand in hand. He believes that for green architecture to become the norm\, it must inspire—making beauty a necessity. Drawing from nature’s efficient elegance\, Christon advocates for designs that use fewer resources to create lasting\, beautiful solutions\, while addressing the environmental challenges of our time.

SUMMARY:AIANS General Meeting at Kean University: Presentation by Carol Loewenson\, FAIA
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteJoin Newark & Suburban Architects on April 16\, 6 PM to 9 PM\, at the Kean University STEM Building for an evening of conversation\, dinner\, drinks\, and a presentation by Carol Loewenson\, FAIA\, Partner at Mitchell Giurgola\, entitled Historic Libraries Anchor Communities.\nOpen bar and dinner!\n1 LU|HSW\nThe NYPL serves an ever increasingly diverse population of children\, teens\, and adults. Since its inception 100+ years ago\, the goal remains literacy in its many forms. The New York Public Library system has over 38 Carnegie branch libraries that are over 100 years old. They are in a state of disrepair\, lack infrastructure\, and are programmatically out of date. Still\, each of them is a critical part of their neighborhood. NYPL has chosen to commit to saving these historic buildings and has established standards for transformation and reuse. Two branches located in the Bronx will be presented as case studies to demonstrate the commitment and process required to achieve successful outcomes. The enduring role of libraries in today’s world will be the foundation of the conversation. Topics covered will include 1) the history of NYPL Carnegie branches\, 2) how to integrate new technology and infrastructure into older buildings\, 3) the challenge of accommodating contemporary programs in older structures\, 4) the sustainability benefit of reuse\, and 5) how to plan for future flexibility. \nAbout the Speaker \n\nCarol Loewenson\, FAIA\, LEED AP\, Partner\n\nCarol Loewenson’s expertise ranges from highly technical buildings\, renovations\, and façade replacements to work involving private and public sectors. Her approach to architecture is deeply rooted in a commitment to public spaces and an acknowledgment of how the shape of a building\, city\, or institution impacts people’s lives. She carefully considers the context in her work\, balancing preservation and modernization to generate sustainable transformations that capture the complexity of a space’s history and future goals. \nHer work at Mitchell Giurgola includes projects for the New York Public Library\, the Brooklyn Public Library\, Barnard College\, Rockefeller University\, New York University\, Cornell University\, LaGuardia Community College\, and the New York State Unified Court System. \nShe serves as a Board member of the AIA Center for Architecture\, the IDC Foundation\, and is the Vice Chair for New Yorkers for Parks. Carol was elected to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows in 2013 and President of AIA New York in 2016. She was awarded the AIA New York State President’s Award in 2019. In 2023\, she was awarded the Columbia University Alumni Medal.
