Alamance County Courthouse

Alamance County Courthouse Restoration

In the renovation of this historic city building, our design team provided comprehensive interior and exterior design and construction services. The project scope included extensive window replacements, ceiling installations, HVAC upgrades, lighting upgrades, and new interior finishes throughout.

Our design team extensively researched the materials used in this project to match the structure’s original grandeur. In its completion, the renovation brought new life and significance to both the building and its community.

The designers made this building very energy efficient and technologically friendly. It has all the modern conveniences of a new building while preserving the moldings, architectural style, color pallets, and materials of its original designer – whom I believe would be more than pleased.

Brightleaf Square Courtyard Renovation

In recent years, downtown Durham has witnessed a significant revival. As part of this growth, the City of Durham commissioned our firm to renovate and upgrade Brightleaf Square, a shopping and restaurant plaza near the Tobacco District.

Our team introduced new hardscaping, landscaping, and signage which engages pedestrians and directs them down the side street. Through careful material selection and lighting design, the charm of the existing structures is enhanced. The result is one of the most vibrant shopping centers in Durham.

This project earned the 2012 Durham Golden Leaf Award for Community Appearance.

3608 University Drive

In 1997, RND Architects outgrew its existing office space in Durham and purchased an empty lot on University Drive to build upon. The firm designed a non-typical two-story building on the site which parallels its parking lot. The site-responsive structure steps down the site and embraces visitors by exposing its vertical circulation on the exterior of the building.

Tall, oversize windows admit light deep into the building and provide ample views from offices on both floors. This expanse of glazing on the east strongly contrasts the monolithic southern facade, which parallels the busy main street. The building is home to four beautiful commercial suites. The RND Architects office currently occupies Suite 204.
