Portsmouth, NH – TMS Architects was a recipient of one of the 11 awards for Excellence in Architecture announced in January at the American Institute of Architects’ 26th Annual Awards Banquet.
TMS Architects received a Special Mention for three new faculty residences built for Phillips Exeter Academy. These homes were added to the O’Neil Court Neighborhood, complementing the four faculty homes previously designed by TMS in 2004.
These new residences achieved Gold LEED certification by reducing energy consumption by 50%, eliminating the use of fossil fuels for heating by using geo-thermal energy, incorporating local building materials and native plants, recycling the majority of construction waste and installing a rain garden to capture runoff from roofs and driveways.
