Ridgewood-based Poskanzer Skott Architects received a 2007 New Jersey Golden Trowel award last week for its work on renovating Ridgewood’s Village Hall. The awards are given annually by the International Masonry Institute.
Firm principal Barry Poskanzer began working with Ridgewood officials to design a flood-proof renovation and building expansion shortly after Village Hall was damaged during 1999’s Tropical Storm Floyd.
“We’re pleased with the outcome of melding new architecture with the old building,” said Barry Poskanzer, principal of Poskanzer Skott. “We’ve heard nice things from the people in the community and the people who occupy it.”
The newly renovated and expanded Village Hall was officially opened in September of 2005, and then suffered damaging flooding less than one month later.
The Fly wonders if Mr. Poskanzer remembers 2005’s flood.
