It all begins with a concept. Turning an idea into a full user experience takes a team that can conceptualize, strategize, and execute the vision. The concept for 74 Main Street evolved as the partners behind the project realized its enormous potential for establishing a multi-use building with a restaurant, housing, offices, and a new home for the civically-focused Democracy House under its roof in Durham's vibrant downtown location.
Through a trusted relationship, Bergmeyer was brought on board to help the owners who needed a partner that could guide them through the process of visualizing, strategizing, and executing a building design of this magnitude. Understanding our client's ambitions is the first step in the process of developing a strategy. Beyond design and execution, our team also met our clients on a philosophical level, allowing us to present them with a concept rooted in our thinking on the relationship between architecture and government. 
Innovation and efficiency were two of the main components behind the design for 74 Main Street. The construction of the building consisted of a pre-fabrication process, combining both modular and customized design components. Instead of the traditional onsite construction schedule where the team has to wait for each task to be finished before moving on to the next, the building is being created level by level simultaneously both onsite and off. This accelerated process allows, for example, for walls to be built offsite as the concrete is being poured. We partnered with Bensonwood Homes, a New Hampshire-based company that builds offsite structural building fabrications through sustainable methods such as cross-laminated timber ("CLT"). The construction industry is one of the largest producers of waste. CLT is considered a renewable resource since it's made from fast-growing trees that can be reforested every couple of years, such as Douglas firs. CLT's use for building infrastructure is also growing in popularity because it's known for being strong, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing. Currently, 74 Main Street stands to be one of the tallest CLT-constructed buildings in New England.
74 Main Street will soon open its doors to the public, inviting the opportunity to experience one of our most sustainably conscientious buildings to date. It'll also stand as proof that while anyone can come up with a concept, a trusted design partnership can expand the idea and take it through to completion.
