by Rebecca Walker — June 15, 2009—Cubellis, an international architectural, interior design and engineering firm with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has been selected by the City of Dania Beach, Florida, to provide design/build services for a new library, required to be in full conformance with the high velocity hurricane zone regulations for the region, and positioned to seek Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).
Situated on a historical site adjacent to the existing City Hall Building located at 100 West Dania Beach Boulevard, the intention of the new project is to design a 10,000-square-foot library that provides sufficient offices and space for traditional and electronic library services. Cubellis fulfilled the requirements of proposers for the project, having exhibited considerable relevant experience with previous successful sustainable projects and sensitive historical sites.
The company is working with D. Stephenson Construction, Fort Lauderdale-based construction firm founded in 1992 by Dwight and Dinah Stephenson.
Cubellis is an integrated, multidisciplinary design firm offering architectural, interior design, and engineering services to a diverse base of national and international clients. For more information, see the Web site.
