Exterior Sketch of The Lodge at Bedford Village Inn
Designed by Jordan
Bedford, NH — Mark Carrier Construction, Inc. (MCCI) has been selected as the design-build contractor to develop a new 55-room hotel for Jack and Andrea Carnevale, owners of the Bedford Village Inn.
The new lodge,located adjacent to the existing inn in Bedford, will be a three-story, wood-framed building of approximately 52,000sf, designed by architect John S. Jordan Design, PLLC of Canterbury.
The building utilizes Dutch Colonial styling and features shingle siding, natural stone columns, and timber framing to provide a welcoming lodge-type environment. The interior features stonework at the grand lobby fireplace and natural reclaimed wood finishes throughout the interior with fireplaces in each guest room.
The engineering firm of TF Moran, Inc. has been working closely with the Carnevales to create a setting that blends the new building into the existing landscape. Careful consideration is being given to parking and walkways to best accommodate guests as they travel between buildings on the property.
The Lodge’s building systems will focus on energy efficiency. Delta Mechanical Corp., teamed with the engineers of Design Day Mechanicals, will install a variable refrigerant flow heating and cooling system. Longchamps Electric, the project’s design-build electrician, has incorporated LED lighting to further reduce building operation costs. Mechanical Concepts will use high-efficiency natural gas water heaters and a continuous-flow hot water supply system in their plumbing design to increase energy efficiency and reduce water usage.
Design work and town approvals are currently underway. MCCI anticipates a start of construction in the spring of 2014.
