Mission Statement

Antinozzi Associates seeks to establish - and maintain - long term relationships with ourclients and the communities we serve by providing exceptional personal attention and

high-quality professional design services. Through this commitment, we have theopportunity to provide a creative and intellectually-stimulating environment for

our staff, assuring the long term success of the firm.


A N T I N O Z Z I A S S O C I A T E S EXPERIENCE


This historic brick building, constructed in 1908 and completed in 1910, was designed as an entertainment venue in a 16th century Italianpalazzo style. At street level was the first specifically designed and functioning Picture Theater in the nation, seating about 250 people,with the upper level designed to embrace a ballroom. As movie theaters grew larger and ballroom dancing became less popular over thedecades, the building became vacant around mid-20th century.

From the very beginning, the design approach for our new office space was to restore the original ballroom’s fin-de-siÀcle style of charm,elegance and simplicity. Fortunately, years of vacancy, lack of use, and a period of undesirable location never made this building or spacea victim of renovation. The original suspended light fixtures, cast-iron balustrade at the balcony, and exposed wood plank roof structurewere still in place and undamaged. The color scheme was based on the original warm, golden painted colors found behind old radiatorsand the amber color of the light fixture lenses.

Cooper Surgical first commissioned Antinozzi Associates in 2001 to relocate their 38,000 SF corporate headquarters from Shelton, CT to 95 CorporateDrive in Trumbull, CT. Over the next few years, the company continued to expand their services, and so did their need for space. In 2007, we wereasked back to assist in relocating their headquarters next door to 75 Corporate Drive, doubling their square footage since the first relocation.

This new facility needed to fit their vision of a state-of-the-art destination that would increase collaboration, unify departments, and attract/retaina talented workforce. Becoming integrated with the rocky and curved site, the solution was a 3-story all-glass curtain wall building using uniquefloor shapes and different sized white bullnose mullions and spandrel panels - ultimately reflecting the surrounding forest and sky. Blue-coloredshadow boxes (from their logo color) add depth and brand the building as 'home' for its employees. Visitors are welcomed by a 2-story front entrancelobby which incorporates a 1½ story stone tile focal wall with LED light strips that change color and messages to both visitors and employees.Maximizing daylight into interior spaces, responding to workstation/office standards (created by our firm in the programming analysis), lighting,color and finishes, exposed ductwork, and sound-absorbing ceiling “clouds” all played critical roles in the design of this building solution. Specialattention was given to the cafeteria and servery, as well as a second floor "Family Room", created to provide another informal gathering place.

In 2004, we were hired by RBS at their Bridgeport, CT office location to solve the challenge of incorporating the corporate interior workstation, finishand color standards of the U.K. headquarters into the U.S. facility. This required our firm to work with two cultures, brands, and identities - from twodifferent countries - and included master planning, workstation standards, interim planning/phasing, open office layouts for several departments,FF&E incorporation, and new implementation of finishes. The scope of work completed included transforming four floors of office space totaling over100,000 SF to meet the company standards required at the time to operate this new company division. Also included was the schematic design foran additional 10,000 SF of renovations which did not occur.

Our firm has been provided on-call design services with RBS as requested since 2004. Working with the VP of Facilities, we responded to several scopeof work requests such as reconfiguring departments, budgeting, managing out-of-state furniture vendor coordination, overall coordination of FF&E,master plan restacking of four floors, and maintaining as-built drawings on a regular basis. In 2010, we assisted in addressing new challenges basedupon the reduction and restacking of staff and square footage. Standards, finishes and colors were once again implemented into approximately5,000 SF and consolidated four floors of space to three by creating an overall master and restacking plans to meet the reduced square footage goals.

The existing 210,000 SF office/laboratory building was completely renovated into a Class ‘A’ multi-ten-ant office building including a full-service kitchen/cafeteria, fitness center, conference center, and shared mailroom. The parking garage was con-nected to the building with a pedestrian bridge and featured glass stairways and elevator towers to address tenant safety concerns. 64 DanburyRoad, a second office building on the site of 45,000 SF, was also completely renovated to include a new entry lobby, facade and common areas.

Antinozzi Associates was retained by Davis Marcus Partners in 2007 to add office and parking facilities at their WiltonCorporate Park location in Connecticut. We were asked to provide master planning, architectural and interior designservices to create the design of a 150,000 SF, Class-A, corporate office building. Amenities include a cafeteria andan 111,000 SF parking garage attached by a pedestrian bridge at the rear of the building to suit the occupying ten-ants' needs. The new four-level garage will house 453 cars. The new corporate office building and above groundparking structure was completed in June of 2008.

Most notably, this project is in the process of attaining LEED Gold Certification. This is a significant project due toits projection of attaining one of the highest levels of construction waste management in the country, with nearly98% of the project’s construction debris recycled and diverted from landfill.

Antinozzi Associates was requested by Scinto Enterprises to design a Class "A" state-of-the-art “green” building, maxi-mizing the site based on the town’s Planning and Zoning requirements. This building was not to be designed as the com-pany’s typical glass and precast design, but unique and appealing for major corporate clients.

Antinozzi Associates created this six-story building, totaling 141,000 SF and 566 parking spaces, on this very difficulteight (8) acre site with a severe slope from left to right - as well as front to back. The building's curved curtain wall frontresponds to the street, starting at the second floor, providing a grand two-story overhang for its visitors. This curvedfront is supported by several stainless steel columns that rise from a reflecting pond with fountains. The design gives theimpression of three distinct buildings by associating different heights, materials and use of several strong horizontal andvertical expressions.

Lafayette Circle is an important site that terminates Lafayette Boulevard in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Aspart of an urban renewal project, the site was envisioned to be the prime location for a signature high-risecorporate structure. This idea has yet to be realized but, at the time, the present property owners embarkedupon a series of proposals to explore various design solutions using residential or mixed-use concepts.

These pages show some of the proposals presented - ranging from a low-rise 90-unit condominium to a 25-story mixed-used residential/office tower. The circular shape, its limited vehicular and pedestrian access,and the important urban location of the site, made each design solution a challenge. Parking for each ofthese proposals was intended to be in an adjoining 800-car parking garage. In the meantime, an existingfour-story building on the site has been fully renovated by Antinozzi Associates to house multiple tenants,including the Adult Probation Judicial Offices for the State of Connecticut.

Maintaining the character and scale in this active downtown neighborhood (across from ouroffice) was an important design criterion for this proposal. It contains four (4) floors of loft-styled office space with retail and parking on the first floor totaling 50,000 SF. The upperthree (3) floors are set back from the street line to maintain the relationship with the lowerroof lines of adjacent buildings. A ‘vest-pocket’ space will allow for outdoor dining and theterra cotta facing on the lower floors is sympathetic to the existing brick buildings on eitherside of the site. The introduction of a window design to reflect natural light deep into theoffice spaces, as well as a vegetated roof garden, are two sustainable design features wehave proposed for this building.

The project is currently in the design approval process with the City of Bridgeport.

This building site is bounded by three streets: Lafayette Boulevard, Fairfield Avenue, and Cannon Street, in downtown Bridgeport. It is a prominentlocation created many years ago during an urban renewal project for a high-rise office building. Those plans were never realized and AntinozziAssociates was engaged to develop a series of proposals for a local developer. An 800-car garage owned by this developer was to provide parking forthe proposed structures. In one proposal, the existing garage was joined to the proposed office structure by a bridge and a vividly-colored curvedfaçade reflected the shape in its frontage to Lafayette Circle. Other proposals explored very contemporary reflective surfaces on the upper officefloors and a more street-friendly facade at the pedestrian level. A third design solution was created for a 96-unit high-rise residential building(Golden Hill Condominium) that included retail space at street level on Fairfield Avenue and incorporated a bridge to the parking garage.

The project site ultimately proceeded as a five-story 64-unit apartment building, now known as 323 Fairfield Avenue - The Shops & Residences atBijou Square, with retail on the first floor and is currently under construction.

In April 2008, the Chatfield Elementary School Building Committee (CESBC) retained Antinozzi Associates to provide a feasibility study, including theconceptual design and costs associated with the needs of Chatfield School and its neighborhood. Educational specifications for ‘Scheme 1’ weredeveloped to meet increased student enrollment by providing additional classroom/program space. The existing building/site would also be reviewedfor improvements. Upon the results of a demographic report responding to the Town of Seymour student enrollment over the next eight (8) years, theCESBC found that the growth in the town would not be what was expected. Based on this finding, the CESBC requested a ‘Scheme 2’ option to studythe possibility of combining Chatfield with LoPresti School into one facility. This combination could then also address the looming need torenovate/replace LoPresti School.

The ‘Scheme 2’ option investigated and evaluated by Antinozzi Associates and our consultants found many benefits, and the CESBC put this combined$32.5M school option out for consideration by Seymour voters in a referendum held in October 2008. Despite hard economic times, the referendumpassed and expected completion of the combined school is slated for September 2011.

During the Summer of 2007, Antinozzi Associates was retained to provide Architectural and Engineering Design Services to re-evaluate and preparerevised conceptual designs for three schools in this regional school district. A re-evaluation of previous design schemes were necessary due to costissues and a controversial decision to reconfigure the elementary and middle school grades. The projects proceded through the Pre-Referendumphase and we worked closely with the region’s Board of Education, Building Committee and Construction Manager (O&G Industries) to analyze vari-ous design options to meet the educational specifications of the two towns and solve the physical plant issues at the three facilities. The Action Planconsisted of proposals totaling over $30M: a Kindergarden Addition to Bethlehem Elementary School; major site improvements, cafeteria expansionand auditorium renovation at Nonnewaug High School; and two options to either “renovate-as-new” or “build new” at Mitchell Elementary School.

Though the referendum did not occur as planned in 2008 due to both Town/School budget issues, as well as a pending lawsuit filed by members of thecommunity regarding grade reconfiguration in the region, our efforts were strongly recognized by the Board of Education and appreciated by theBuilding Committee.


This new school is housed in a fully-renovated structure built in 1965 by the University of Bridgeport known as Bruell & Rennell Halls. Although orig-inally built as a residence hall, this facility has housed a number of educational and administrative uses during its lifetime. It now serves as a swingschool for the first several years and then will become a Magnet School.

The building is designed to meet the standard Educational Specifications for a 750 student Pre-K through 8 school. These requirements were accom-modated within the existing structure and a new addition. The existing building is 4 stories high with a basement totaling 112,854 SF. The new addi-tion is an additional 10,481 SF. Programmatically, the uppermost level is comprised of Grades 6, 7 and 8. The 3rd level houses the Intermediategrades (3 - 5) and leaves the 2nd floor to house Primary grades Pre-K - 2. The 1st level houses administrative, media center, athletic and food serv-ice facilities - maintenance, storage and mechanical spaces occupy the basement. The basement also includes space for art, music and perform-ance arts classes and is provided with natural light.

Oxford High School was designed to immediately house 750 students with expansion to 800 students. The $44M budget included a natatorium andcore facilities for future expansion. The project was approved by a significant margin in a Town-wide referendum in 2004 after three failed referen-dum attempts under the lead of other consultant teams. Antinozzi Associates provided critical support services during the pre-referendum stageincluding building & site design, models, public relations media and communications.

The school building is located on a site that takes advantage of distant vistas extending across Long Island Sound. The design concept revolvedaround the idea to express the interior spaces out to the exterior by the use of different bricks and corrugated metal panels and by three- dimen-sionally offsetting masses and wall skins. Differentiating colors and textures announce each distinct function of the walls and volumes behind theinterior spaces. In addition, the design of the new high school revolved extensively around the need to use portions of the facility for both commu-nity and high school purposes. The facility is a comprehensive high school capable of providing a wide array of electives to its diverse population ...and providing space for community organizations.

Antinozzi Associates has developed a very special niche in the financial market since 1972 when we began our relationship withPeople’s Bank, now known as People’s United Bank. Working with numerous clients for over 20 years, we expanded our financial clientbase when we began work with Newtown Savings Bank in 1986 and Webster Bank in 1995. Over the past decade, we continue to havesubstantial ‘on-call’ work with these institutions as well as many others including Naugatuck Valley Savings & Loan, Savings Bank ofDanbury, Union Savings Bank, Quinnipiac Bank & Trust, The Bank of New Canaan, and Naugatuck Savings Bank.

What makes us different from other design firms is our approach to each individual project. We cater to the individual institution fora branded, personal “look and feel” by customizing the design to fit the specific business plan of each bank. Most recently, we incor-porated new branding into the branch designs for Newtown Savings Bank, who completed their seventh branch in the last four years.We continue our partnership with Webster Bank (completing over 110 projects to date) and the completion of 68 supermarket branchfacilities for People’s United Bank. Over the past decade, we estimate that we have designed almost 200 bank branch facilities.

In 1996, Webster Bank (the second-largest Connecticut-based bank at the time) retained Antinozzi Associates to provide interior design and plan-ning services for the design of a technologically-based prototypical branch. The first project developed was a retail-type branch located at the newBrass Mill Center Mall in Waterbury. This design was driven by the bank’s growth and expansion of services in internet/phone banking and ATM serv-ices. Along with this prototype, our firm standardized the bank branch interiors - furniture systems, color schemes, and layout - in addition to incor-porating the latest trends in banking services. In 1998 alone, Webster Bank greatly expanded their market location outside the Hartford andWaterbury regions and converted or renovated 35 branches within 18 months. Since 1998, we have renovated over 100 branch locations. Mostnotably, in 2002, we designed a prototype branch model that would brand a new image for Webster Bank. Since successfully opening the first proto-type branches in Westchester County in 2003, 30 other branches have been built in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Creatively designedand specific to high functionablity, the design allows for local adaptibility in diverse regions with revolving facade restrictions from town to city. Ourservices not only included architectural and interior design - new and renovated - but site feasibility studies, obtaining town approvals and permits,project team coordination, and construction administration.

In 2004, Newtown Savings Bank commissioned Antinozzi Associates to help develop and implement a new brand into all of their new branches movingforward. They were moving to a new location in Shelton and wanted this branch to be a modern version of their existing branch locations. This branchwas to reflect their new logo and business direction. We conducted classroom-style programming meetings with several employees and executives,holding brainstorming sessions as to what the new brand look would be. From these meetings, we created a branch unique to the Newtown SavingsBank business direction. We introduced a flagpole with a glass wall sculpture that contained their mission statement. The flagpole is symbolic to thelocation of their headquarters in Newtown, with the center of town displaying the recognizable flagpole.

After great success with the Shelton branch, Newtown Savings retained Antinozzi Associates to continue incorporating the new brand into seven (7)additional branch locations in Brookfield, Bethel, Shelton, Southbury, Southford, and Monroe, Connecticut. We recently completed another new4,000 SF branch in Newtown, Connecticut and will complete a branch renovation, also in the Sandy Hook area of Newtown, by the end of 2010.

The professional relationship between Antinozzi Associates and People’s United Bank, formerly named People’s Bank and the #1 Connecticut basedbank, dates back to 1979. Since then, we have provided comprehensive architectural services for regional headquarters and various branch build-ings and interior design work totaling over 500,000 square feet.

In addition, our on-call design services to People’s Bank encompassed a major branch expansion and brand program with the bank. The goal of theprogram was to standardize the branches so they would all conform to a model branch that was developed by the bank and our firm. This standard-ization inlcuded not only freestanding branches but the implementation of banking services in over 70 Stop & Shop branches thrughout Connecticut. Branch design and construction is ongoing at multiple Stop & Shop locations and consists of renovations and, in some locations, the addition of oralterations to, a second prototype “upgrade” to 60 Super Stop & Shop branches. In addition, we established design criteria for the first financialservice center located in Trumbull, which was soon followed by two others centers in Torrington and Southington and then in Kennebunk, Maine.Recently a newly completed center in Monroe, as well as upgrades to locations in Colechester and Glastonbury.

After purchasing two adjacent sites, one which housed a historical house in New Milford, Connecticut, UnionSavings Bank commissioned Antinozzi Associates to design the branch. They were looking for warmth and wel-come in the design. Antinozzi Associates saved the existing Italianate Victorian historical house and added onto it in a way that accented the warmth of the house providing a welcoming feel to the branch. The interior wasdesigned using colors and materials appropriate to the era the house represented. We even went as far as sav-ing two old fireplace mantels, refurbishing them and relocating them to prominent locations within the newbranch. The building was well received at the grand opening both by local residents and our clients.

Shortly after, Antinozzi Associates was commissioned to design branches in Brookfield and Southbury. Though theexteriors of the branch fit the neighboring community, the interiors maintain the same color and finish scheme asthe original branch in New Milford.

The Savings Bank of Danbury invited Antinozzi Associates back in 2004, several years after designingtwo other branches for them, to design a new signature branch with executive offices, lending officesand a training room in their home city of Danbury. The bank executives commissioned our office to cre-ate a building design that would be well-recognized and appreciated by local residents and the City.Antinozzi Associates came up with a modern design solution that cleverly used traditional details tosignify the longevity of the bank’s history in the area, coupled with contemporary details.

This new branch building completed construction in July 2006 and has received rave reviews from theclient and customers alike. An exhibit of warmth, quality and customer service is displayed through theincorporation of a working fireplace that only adds to the ‘living-room’ style welcome.

Naugatuck Valley Savings & Loan commissioned Antinozzi Associates and Business Invirons (now Solidus) in 2003 to providedesign/build services for a new building in Seymour, Connecticut. Our first task was to provide a feasibility study to deter-mine what could be built on the existing site. After extensive research and understanding of the site logistics, we present-ed our idea of a 10,000 square foot building that included a 3,000 square foot branch on the first floor with three drive-uplanes. The second floor provided tenant space for a variety of diverse tenants. Up to four tenants are able to occupy theremaining 7,000 square foot space not used by the bank. The branch design not only blended well with the neighboring com-munity, a brand was developed that continues to be implemented on future branches - keeping an effective and consistentlook of all Naugatuck Valley Savings & Loan branches.

After successful completion of the Seymour facility, the Antinozzi Associates and Solidus team was immediately asked backto provide design/build services for another new branch, this time in Shelton, Connecticut.

The third building,Building 'C', is a two-story office/retail structure totaling 10,000 SF which includes a local bank on the first floor. All of the structures were designedin collaboration with the supermarket tenant's designer and included steel framing, brick/stucco exteriors, aluminum frame with insulated glasswindows, and feature tower elements with colored prism glass.

Our developer client then asked us back to design a fourth building, a medical office building, on this 15-acre property. On a difficult and slopingsite, we created this 21,000 SF building which also incorporates a 7,000 SF garage under the structure. The first floor is comprised of 7,000 SF with atwo-story lobby enclosed with butt-glazed curtain wall. On this level is also parking beneath the 14,000 SF second floor. Using a stone veneer at thebase of the building, as well as pilasters to support the garage, we were able to blend the building with the natural surroundings of the site.

After completing the design and construction of a 121,500 SF retail shopping center complex, our developer client asked us back to design a fourthbuilding on this prominent 15-acre retail/office property in Stratford, Connecticut.

For this project, the building was designed for medical office use. On a difficult and sloping site, we created this 21,000 SF structure which includes7,000 SF of parking ‘garage’ under the building. The first floor is comprised of 7,000 SF with a two-story lobby enclosed with a butt-glazed curtainwall system. Parking is also located on this level - underneath the 14,000 SF second floor. Using stone veneer as the building’s base and thickeningthe pilasters supporting the garage level, we blended the building with the natural (and architectural) surroundings of the site. The remainder of thebuilding is made up of ribbon windows and EIFS to match the architectural vernacular that we had already established in the earlier four buildings.

The location and the design has private practitioners from St. Vincent’s and Bridgeport Hospital interested in this building. This project will be con-structed as soon as the building obtains the necessary leasing occupancy required to support funding the project.

The Fones School of Dental Hygiene (FSDH) at the University of Bridgeport requested the services of AntinozziAssociates to determine if the renovation and move of the clinic to the Warner Hall Health Science Center wasmore cost effective than to renovate the clinic in its current location in Eleanor Dana Hall. The renovationsachieve many goals including; allowing the school to consolidate its community clinic functions into one build-ing, the ability for students and clients to interact in a more office-like setting, and the opportunity for stu-dents to learn on modern, technologically up-to-date, appropriate equipment easing their transition into thework force. Ultimately, attracting more students and clinic patients to the Fones School of Dental Hygiene.

In addition, Warner Hall required minor renovations in order to be in compliance with ADA regulations. The ren-ovated floor plan layout also allows for better privacy between the clinic's 30 operatories while providing visualsupervision by the instructors.

The essence of the Asplund Rotunda not only maintains its integrity, but through this design, highlights thespecial vision Erik Gunner Asplund had in the initial creation, when the plans were first published in 1922.

The two primary goals of the design are Simplicity and Transition. We take into account Asplund's incorpo-ration of symmetry from the observatory on the hill, which has an exact proportion from the wings of theobservatory to the width of the Rotunda - creating the additional library space by utilizing this same axis.Additionally, the original Rotunda still remains the highest point of the facility as a whole, reflecting therespective levels from one building to the other. The back wall of this new building is precisely perpendi-cular to the line drawn from the respective landmarks and is an extensive solid wall specific to the sur-rounding sloping land.

Antinozzi Associates has provided architectural and interior design services to the religious community for over 50 years. In fact, ourfirm’s first design projects were initially religious buildings for church organizations throughout Connecticut. Our work has includedover 30 new churches and numerous additions or renovations to sanctuaries, parish halls, classroom buildings, rectories and even belltowers - all of which are a valued part of our founding heritage that contributes to the firm’s culture and success. Each project, largeor small, presents a unique design opportunity requiring sensitivity, emotion and faith. Our clients have spanned every type - from asmall non-denominational chapel in Bridgeport Hospital to the Catholic Diocese of Connecticut.

Our churches quietly reflect the sacred nature of their purpose - and the parish in which they serve. Each church is a unique designexpression that communicates a “minds-eye” image that resurfaces in one’s thoughts during contemplation. In addition, many ofthe projects we designed have required our assistance in gaining the support of certain groups, constituencies, or municipalities.

Under the leadership of the Bridgeport Hospital Foundation, the Bridgeport Hospital Chapel was completely renovated within its existing space as apro-bono service provided by Antinozzi Associates.

First among several key design goals was to establish its presence within the main Hospital Lobby using a non-denominational signifier. Our solutionwas to construct a backlit crystalline tower in 1” faceted glass of abstract design. A second goal was to establish a sense of seclusion for quiet per-sonal reflection or small religious ceremonies. This was accomplished with an entry sequence that transitions visitors from the busy, bright and volu-minous hospital lobby through a small corridor lighted only by an illuminated sculpture and borrowed light from the chapel itself. The entry sequencerequires a visitor to complete three 90-degree turns, a classic religious transitional strategy.

The stone wall, with its varied surfaces, crevices, and shadows provides a contemplative, tactile surface for eyes of visitors. A projecting stone, high-lighted by a pendant light, provides a surface for decoration and a location for symbolism during religious ceremonies.

It all starts with a Client who has a Vision - whether it is to build a new facility, renovate an existing building, reallocate program space, or simplyplan for future expansion. This is when Antinozzi Associates is brought on board to facilitate, develop, and create the idea into physical form thatfulfills specific, tangible goals. Once part of the team, we instantly gather information - in many different methods - so we can fully understand theclient’s needs and create a successful, cost-effective, and sustainable design solution. As the project moves forward, more information is gatheredthrough collaboration with the client, design and/or construction team, and all the entities it takes to put a project together. The closer the designprocess is completed, the more formal our efforts become until the design is complete and construction starts.

Our primary role as Architects, Interior Designers, and Planners is to create the form and function of a building structure and the spaces within. Toget there, we must consider what guides each design. What philosophy connects each of the numerous design decisions we make? The character ofthe places and spaces in which we teach our children, shelter our families, shape our neighborhoods, employ our workforce, or market to consumersaffects the success of our communities. Design should have inspirational qualities to uplift and cultivate a productive and comfortable society. Onlyby listening to our clients and probing numerous resources can we express these diverse needs as physical, aesthetic, and spatial solutions.

From a simple diagram created in the early stages of this process, the design of a building or space develops. What we do as design leaders all startswith a Client and a Vision … and sometimes a sketch on a paper napkin ...
