"I just began work on a museum project for Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte, NC. It was exciting to win the commission. Bringing a cultural project into our studio marked personal success and will be a valuable addition to our portfolio. The project is exciting because of its importance to the city and the neighborhood. The work will be a rare opportunity to create an extraordinary place of lasting civic and cultural significance. I am thrilled for the opportunity to design a place that reflects the Museum's enduring commitment to history storytelling and inclusive public engagement" Kristin Hawkins AIA, Associate Principal
