Church of the Assumption
“Built in 1952, this church is one of the few pioneering examples in the region that broke away from American and European influences and took on a distinct Trinidadian architectural flavour. This is an excellent example of lasting architecture and construction.”
Republic Bank Operations Centre
“This building utilises an extremely simple and restrained design that expresses its function. Its flexibility easily facilitates an ideal ever-changing arrangement of personnel and inter-communications.”
St James Square
“This is a fine example of use of public space as a public centre. The pergola-shape resting area, paved green liming spots, the permanent amphitheatre and the brilliant Middle-Eastern minbar-type structure, add up to a truly Trinidadian potpourri.”
Maison Verte
Vintage Imports
“ . . . The expression of its Mediterranean association with vintage Italian wine is a subtle advertisement within the nobility of its product. The post modernism is not overdone. Its well-mannered and fine detailing within the coherent massing, with its intimate and pleasant corner set back is well in keeping with early twentieth century Woodbrook.”
