Michael Shilale Architects, LLP (MSA)
has committed their practice to sustainable
design for a number of years. Michael Shilale
became a LEED Acredited Design Professional in
2003, and has brought sustainable strategies
to their schools, offices, residential and
industrial projects.
When United Water
was looking for a design firm to assist with
their new desalination plant, MSA was the firm
they chose. Their knowledge of local codes and
ties to the community, combined with their
emphasis and experience with sustainable
design made them a perfect choice.
MSA’s sustainable expertise and recommended
strategies will help reduce the energy use
required for the new treatment facility.
Another important goal of the project is
minimizing the architectural impact of the
plant. An intake structure on the shores of
the Hudson River is required. The selected
site is adjacent to an industrial site. MSA’s
early design studies attempts to bridge the
transition between the marina and the
industrial site to the south with the
residential sites to the north |

Preliminary designs
incorporate nautical elements that harmonize
well with the Hudson riverfront suggesting
images of a boathouse and other waterfront
architecture.
MSA’s 3D modeling
capability proved valuable to view proposed
designs in context with massing studies and
photo simulations from the river. |
