Beekman Street Multi-Use Building


To act as a reflection of the firm’s design philosophy and provide an example of sensibly integrated green building technologies, the building at the corner of Beekman Street and Grand Avenue has provided an anchor as the first new construction in the budding Beekman Street Arts District in Saratoga Springs, NY. Housing the new offices of Phinney Design Group, a second floor Art Gallery and a neighborhood pub and restaurant on the first floor; the building has incorporated many sustainable features such as the use of many local and regionally manufactured building products, high-recycled content materials, indigenous planting materials, low or no VOC finishes, day-lighting strategies, occupancy sensors, high-efficiency HVAC systems, high-performance glazing, spray foam insulation, SIP roof panels, a green roof and a palette of warm, natural building materials and finishes. The building has quickly become a signature structure in the historic “Dublin” neighborhood of Saratoga Springs West Side.
