In our 27 years partnering with the Royal Caribbean Group, we have designed an almost infinite number of pools for their brands and fleets of ships. While most of us are sweltering in summer heat waves, we thought we would share some of our favorite cool, blue pools. ✔ Fun fact: Thanks to desalination and reverse osmosis systems, ships can produce about 90% of the freshwater used on board all on their own. This water is used for everything from highspeed waterslides and pools for days to drinking water and shower water.

Thrilled to announce that Scott Butler and Leah Solomon will be presenting at NATEAC 2024, alongside Daniel Jentzen from Boston Arts Academy! Our session Providing Access for Future Artists | The Boston Arts Academy, will address accessibility from three perspectives: providing broad community access to the design process, designing impactful solutions, and fostering future artists, designers, and architects. Looking forward to seeing many friends & colleagues in Brooklyn, NY! NATEAC (North American Theatre, Engineering, and Architecture Conference) was first produced in 2008. Since then, it has been bringing together the architects, engineers, consultants, and manufacturers who are responsible for designing, building, and renovating theaters. This year, the conference is focusing on ACCESS! #NATEAC2024 #TheatreEngineering #InnovativeDesign #Theatre4All

Happy 4th of July!

The Zeiterion Performing Arts Center groundbreaking ceremony was held last Friday, June 28. It was a great event for a project we started in February 2020. Since then, we have been through a lot together and much has changed. However, our collective commitment to reimagining a new performing arts center that would endure another 100 years was constant. The Zeiterion team has been a dream partner to work with. Their staff and board should be celebrated for this monumental event. Congratulations!
