Chatham Plaza, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Located within the heart of downtown Pittsburgh and nestled between a high rise apartment building, a mid rise hotel, and a high rise office building; Chatham Plaza is a quiet get away from the metropolitan hustle and bustle. With a large custom designed water feature, two infinity waterfall walls, exposed aggregate seat walls, and seating for gatherings of all sizes, many of those who enjoy this outdoor setting may not even be aware that they are relaxing above an often fully occupied parking garage. Fahringer, McCarty, Grey fully administered and designed this project from concept though construction administration.

Courtyard by Marriott????????(R)???AE???(R)???(C) Monroeville, Pa.
This 102-room hotel is located in a busy area in Monroeville's commercial district. The challenge was to create a warm, welcoming environment for visitors to the otherwise very urban setting.

Winnie Palmer Nature Reserve Latrobe, Pa.
Fahringer, McCarty, Grey was approached by the Arnold Palmer Group to aid in the design and implementation of a nature center/reserve that would be created to honor the environmental advocacy legacy left by Mr. Palmer's late wife Winnie. The keystone to this facility is the relocated barn that was donated by St. Vincent College and completely transformed to become the Environmental Learning Barn. The placement of this structure was chosen by Fahringer, McCarty, Grey staff walking the entire 50-acre parcel to determine the ideal location. Next came the design and layout of over 2 miles of trails and acres of native plantings. Much of the available land was left untouched to allow nature to do what it does best.
