THOMPSON Planning/HP/HEP Board Application 02/2010 Robert John Graboski 6011 North Bayshore Drive, #9 0 Miami, FL 33137 305.772.5250 0 Robert@villagearchitects.com 21 February 2011 Attn: City of Miami Historic & Environmental Preservation Board I have just finished my first term on the City of Miami Historic and Environmental Preservation Board and would like to re -submit my application to continue on the board for another term. As a practicing Architect, my experience includes renovation and remodeling of commercial buildings in Historic Districts. Commercial buildings present a challenge in that the uses of the same building can vary from retail to office while each new use presents its own requirements and restrictions. Design solutions are needed that are sympathetic to the original character while allowing a different and varied program from the original design. My experience with residential projects includes new infill, remodeling and additions to contributing homes in historic districts. I have also worked on the historical designation of a single family home. While appreciating the character of the historic district, there is a responsibility to create an addition that blends in without being mistaken for the original. The balance created between the old and new should be complimentary and emphasize the significant features of the residence. In all projects there is an aspect beyond the built structure and it includes the natural and living environment. These natural elements are too often ignored or discarded and I believe we should be conscious of our entire environment. Preservation of the built and natural environments shoulil Lk hand in hand. 74 0 I appreciate your consideration of my resume for another ternivn t1 HEPB and look forward to your response. 3 IT -f) r- 0 4- Z ✓ n O rn Robert John Graboski 6011 North Bayshore Drive, #9 0 Miami, FL 33137 305.772.5250 0 Robert@villagearchitects.com Objective: Position on the City of Miami Historical & Environmental Protection Board Registrations: AR91596- Licensed 2002 LEED AP Education: BA Architecture University of Miami, 1990 Community Service: Morningside Civic Association Professional Experience: 2003-current Village Architects of Key Biscayne Inc.
