John Reichert, from Reichert Studios, a well known national sculptor recently purchased a building in downtown Port Washington to move his business.  The existing building houses studio offices on the first floor and apartments on the second floor.  John came to Haag Müller, Inc. to expand his building to incorporate new studio space and pewter production area.  The new 1 story 1,100 SF addition will be located on the back of the building along Morgan Street.  The south facade design, visible to Morgan Street, was introduced to project an old carriage house look and utilizes cream city brick salvaged from an existing building, arched topped windows, decorative wood garage door, and accent gooseneck light fixtures to fit the fabric of the historic downtown Port Washington.  Although the look of the building is historic, we have incorporated modern ideals in regards to energy efficiency and storm water runoff by providing a roof garden on the addition.  The mass of the roof garden will provide natural insulation for the addition as well as aiding in slowing and filtering rainwater before it goes into the cities sewer system.  This roof garden will also provide additional outdoor space that is scarce in a downtown setting.
