6 Lamoureux Pagano Associates | Architects
The diversity of the firm's portfolio
can be seen in the variety of projects
the firm completed.
In 1978, Riley Stoker, a local
industrial boiler manufacturer,
wanted to build a facility for
prototype and emissions testing;
Lamoureux designed its new
research facility to produce
equipment and new concepts for
companies around the globe. The
firm also completed commissions
for several other industrial era
titans of Worcester and surrounding
communities, including Montrose
Products in Auburn.
Respecting History and the Planet
Through the decades,
architectural techniques have
evolved and clients' priorities
have shifted. Computers were not
yet ubiquitous so blueprints were
painstakingly hand drawn and
electronic communication was still
years away. But woven through
the firm's history are sustainability
and energy efficiency in building
design, respect for maintaining
historic accuracy, and recycling/
reusing existing materials whenever
possible.
1970's Office
In 1976, Founder RICHARD
LAMOUREUX said, "I've
had a seven-year climb from
designing back porches.
We manage to keep things
going by diversifying, going
after things, renovations
and negotiative work with
contractors. One of the
present projects is converting
a hamburger stand to a branch
bank."
