How does a small town... a county... a state... or a nation reverse the twin blights of suburban sprawl and urban decay? This question became the focal point of a crusade by Pennsylvania newsman Tom Hylton in the mid 1980s, as he watched his lovely small town decline while the surrounding countryside was paved over for a jumble of roads, stores, parking lots, and tract housing. This crusade led to a Pulitzer Prize, a year-long planning fellowship, an influential book, a public television documentary, and finally, to the charitable corporation Save Our Land, Save Our Towns, Inc.

As Architects: Every project we work on, no matter how small, is an opportunity to make a difference in our clients' lives. Since we understand that the design process is a cooperative one, we work with our clients, consultants, engineers, and contractors to help different opinions come together for a great outcome. We believe in design that includes everyone and make sure that our designs allow access for those with disabilities and other challenges. Our strengths are our creativity (while addressing practical issues such as code requirements and safety), attention to detail, and our sensitivity to time and budget constraints.

Follansbee Steel manufactures the world's most corrosive resistant carbon and stainless steel materials for use in applications where corrosion resistance is paramount, such as exterior architectural walls and roofs, particularly in coastal areas. Follansbee's patented ZT® alloy coating transforms ordinary carbon or stainless steel into materials virtually impervious to corrosion by forming a permanent barrier to rust. These steel materials are delivered with the semi-reflective gray finish of ZT alloy, but over time, the alloy interacts with oxygen to form a soft, uniform and flat gray patina. In low corrosive, exterior environments Follansbee materials do not require a color coating for added corrosion protection, but may be color-coated to achieve a specific aesthetic.
