Vision Bermuda gets new Home   1 comment

Nestled in the heart of the Capital City of Hamilton, Vision Bermuda is accessible by the free public transportation and provides screening, training, and support for the vision impaired community.

Vision Bermuda Gets a New Home

The island of Bermuda has one of the highest diabetes rates in the world which can lead to blindness.   Dennis Kowal Architects is helping ease the situation working with Vision Bermuda and  creating a facility that provides assessments, training, appliances and social networking for the visually impaired for the residents of  Bermuda.

Located in the capital city of Hamilton, the design was based on the climate, the client’s needs, the unique architecture of Bermuda, and protection against hurricanes, wind and the salty environment.  Phase One will consist of renovations to the existing facility (sans tower).   Dennis Kowal Architects are working with the people of Bermuda and the zoning officials to fully capture the needs and regulations affecting this quadrant of this renewal zone. Local Architect Ian Gordon and General Contractor Patrick Caton are currently in the process of demolition work on the site preparing for the start of construction.

Dennis Kowal (center) presents the features of the new facility to the Hamilton Corporation President. Scented herb gardens, outdoor grilling, tot play and learn center and mobilization training obstacles are all part of the site plan.
