“HOLT Architect got it all right! Throughout the process, they worked hand in hand to visualize all the different features of our boathouse. The most important element of the building was how it functioned for the rowers. The additional team meeting room has turned out to be one of the best additions to the boathouse. They were the only firm to recognize this feature and to include it in our package. It’s aesthetically pleasing design also fits within the space around us.”
—Jim Lister, Head Rowing Coach
