Our office capped off Bike Month with a ride to Gage Park to celebrate the grand opening of the Everyone Rides Initiative new Adaptive Bike Hub.
We were more than happy to donate our services to this cause to help secure a building permit. This initiative will help remove barriers that prevent people from accessing bikes for transportation and fun!
We are pleased to announce that TCA is beginning a new era as CGS | Curran Gacesa Slote Architects. Our name may have changed, but the people behind it were here all along. Our newly appointed Principals, Stevan Gacesa and Kyle Slote have been a key part of the firm since 2007. Stevan and Kyle will continue working alongside Founding Principal Bill Curran as the firm’s leadership team to provide the high level of service clients expect from us.
Aside from the change of name, what does this new era for the firm really mean? We see this time as an opportunity to renew and strengthen who we are and how we work. We have some new staff, revitalized project approaches, and a lot of exciting ideas for architecture and the City of Hamilton. Over the coming months, we look forward to sharing more about the people, projects, and ideas that make Curran Gacesa Slote Architects a design firm you’ll want to get to know better.
CGS Principal, Bill Curran, advocates for the approval of a secondary dwelling garage conversion seeking a minor parking variance. Bill notes that this type of project provides the kind of gentle density Hamilton needs rather than greenfield development.
Featured in Award’s December, 2021 issue and including an interview with CGS Senior Associate, Kyle Slote:
The new Haldimand Central Administration Building opened in February of 2020, and Slote gives full credit to the Haldimand County stakeholders for the success of the project. “They were hands on in the best sense of the term,” he says. “They cared deeply about the project and trusted us, and we were inspired to bring their programming requirements to life in an exciting way.”
