EOA Architects

EOA was honored to receive an AIA Tennessee Merit Award for the Smyrna Ready Mix Corporate Headquarters during AIA Tennessee's annual Design Awards program. The program celebrates design excellence in architecture across the entire state. Jurors commented that "the entire building is a great showcase of what concrete can do. The way the architect treated the concrete is very light and sculptural. It feels plastic and malleable. In addition to the board formed concrete the jury also appreciated the glass detailing and how the building evokes the idea of a quarry by building the inverse of a quarry." Fourteen built projects were unanimously chosen to be recognized from a group of 163 submittals, all of which received thoughtful consideration. The jurors noted the diverse range of work and elegant solutions to challenges presented. “The jury was impressed by the quality and variety of architectural practice demonstrated by the submission of executed projects realized across the state of Tennessee”.

We are honored to announce the St. Joseph Catholic Church has been selected to be the 2024 recipient of the Ida Lee Willis Historic Preservation Project Award presented by the Ida Lee Willis Memorial Foundation. The ceremony will take place this Wednesday, May 22nd at the Old Kentucky State Capitol Building in downtown Frankfort. The church was originally designed in the German Romanesque style, over a 14-year period from 1870 to 1884. In 2018, EOA began the interior and exterior envelope restoration of the church, bringing together many artisans to resurrect the sanctuary back to its former glory. EOA’s scope included structural stabilization of roof and floor connections, exterior envelope restoration, renovation of restrooms to increase capacity and sensitive modifications to provide ADA access to the main entrance to the church. Conrad Schmitt Studios, out of New Berlin, Wisconsin, took on the challenge of restoring and re-inventing the interior of the sanctuary with historic photographs providing clues to stencil patterns and colors. Replication of these elements contributes to the authentic historic character of the interior.
