“ He has significant local experience, especially in Chester County, which enhances the services we can offer our clients. ”
Timothy J. Cassidy, a Chester County, Pennsylvania native, joins the team at Bernardon Haber Holloway Architects adding his planning and design expertise to the award-winning design firm.
Kennett Square, PA (
PRWEB) November 28, 2006 -- Bernardon Haber Holloway Architects PC has a new team member whose professional knowledge spans the full breadth of the built and natural environment. An Urban Designer, Landscape Architect, and Certified Planner, Dr. Cassidy brings over 20 years of diverse experience to the architecture, interiors, and land planning firm.
Cassidy graduated from West Virginia University in 1988 with a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture, and completed his education with a Master of Architecture (1995) and a Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture (2000) from Texas A&M University.
He has worked on a variety of planning, urban infill, mixed use, and traditional neighborhood development projects in Pennsylvania including the Paoli Rail Yard and the Master Plan for Village of Hawthorne, among others. Current projects where Cassidy will lend his planning expertise in the design and development of new and existing neighborhoods include the Baederwood and Dreshertown Redevelopments in Montgomery County, PA.
"Tim brings to the firm planning and design experience in both the public and private sectors," says Kerry Haber, a principal of the firm. "He has significant local experience, especially in Chester County, which enhances the services we can offer our clients. Tim's leadership abilities and skills as a designer make him an ideal addition to our team."
Cassidy worked early in his career for Thomas Comitta Associates, Inc., in West Chester, then for Texas A&M University as an Assistant Lecturer while completing his graduate degrees. After returning to Pennsylvania to start a family, he worked for Thomas Comitta Associates and the Arcus Design Group - Architects, Inc., before coming to Bernardon Haber Holloway.
"I've admired the work of Bernardon Haber Holloway for many years and it's a great thrill to make a home for myself here," said Cassidy. "Their work on projects such as the Genesis HealthCare building in Kennett Square, and the Chester County Justice Center in West Chester have really made a mark--they are doing the types of urban infill projects that excite me and I think my diverse background will complement and enhance their capabilities. It's a great fit!"
As a Certified Planner and Landscape Architect, Cassidy brings his knowledge of these disciplines into the mix--something Kerry Haber says is very important to the built environment.
"The relationship between buildings and the landscape is vital to the overall successful design of a building or complex," he notes. "Besides Tim's other wealth of experience, having urban planning expertise in-house is a real benefit to our clients and we're very excited to welcome him to the team."
Established in 1973, Bernardon Haber Holloway Architects PC provides architecture, interiors, and land planning services to a wide range of clients including private, corporate, and institutional. The 60-person firm operates offices in Kennett Square and Downingtown, PA, and Wilmington, DE.
