Continuing our deeper dive into ZA+D's interior office projects, in 2024 we wrapped up the Total Environmental Concepts, Inc (TECI) space. The 14,000+ SF space features a large board room, two warehouses, many interior offices and a large staff pantry area. Click to learn more and see other photos from the project.

The ZA+D team visited our Railroad Square project in Brunswick, with the masonry well underway! The new construction portion of the project will receive brick veneer, continue to have HVAC and sprinkler work installed. The historic component in the Mommer's Building will finish their concrete footings and begin framing. The property is a 43 unit apartment building, situated near the train station, will be a central location for Brunswick.

Last week, Mission First and St. Anne's Episcopal Church led the Ribbon Cutting for the newly opened Cain Commons. ZA+D has been involved in the project since 2016 and was thrilled to be part of the festivities to welcome residents and stakeholders alike. Cain Commons is, a 76-unit, 4-story apartment building developed by St. Anne’s Community Development Corporation and Mission First Housing Development Corporation (Misson First) for seniors age 62+ located in Damascus, MD. Completed in September of 2023, its striking modern design on top of a hill looking over the countryside, reflects its tranquil setting adjacent to the existing St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. The development supports the mission of the church creating an aging-in-place community suited for the needs of seniors. The design team, seasoned with affordable housing experience, consisted of Zavos Architecture + Design, Bowman, Wolfman and Associates, MHG, and Pando Alliance. Mixing more traditional lap siding in country red with sleek paneling for most of the elevation, the modern building engages in a dialogue with the neighboring 1962 modern St. Anne’s Church.

Thank you for the 3rd year running to show interested High School students what a live project and job site is like. Each year we go out to the site it has been in various stages (design, initial demolition, construction). Next year, Phase 1 will be complete and Phase 2 will be in the midst of construction. We are truly lucky to have a community in Frederick where this programming can be put on year after year. Students asked great questions and who knows, may be the future designers and builders of our City. Thanks again to Habitat for Humanity of Frederick County, ADTEK Engineers, and Frederick High School LYNX Program.

Steel is going up at Crossroads of Kensington. The steel will be fully installed by late April, with a shell building completion in early September.
