Located on a former U.S. Naval Base, Building F is part of a federal complex of U.S. government facilities at the U.S. Department of State’s (DOS) Charleston Regional Center (CRC). The new four-story building provides a modern and environmentally sustainable platform for all CRC employees and visitors. Fostering a sense of community and place with the adjacent DOS facilities, the building’s scale, massing, and materials anchor the new facility within the prominent government campus.

In partnership with the General Services Administration, Page modernized the 1964 Moorhead Federal Building to enhance efficiency, functionality, and occupant experience. The high-rise complex underwent a comprehensive transformation from the outside in, beginning with a new curtain wall that not only elevated its aesthetic appeal but, more importantly, improved performance by preventing infiltration and thermal loss.

Over centuries, inhabitants of the southwest desert developed building traditions to mediate the region’s harsh climate and provide security for their communities. Drawing inspiration from these long-proven strategies, Page designed a new energy-efficient, 21st-century office building that blends seamlessly with its surroundings.

Completed in 1934, the U.S. Custom House occupies an entire city block in Philadelphia’s Old City Historic District. This distinctive 17-story structure, blending a classical base with an Art Deco tower, was built to underscore Philadelphia’s importance as a major port and economic center. Today, many of the building’s systems—some dating back to the original construction—have reached the end of their lifespan. Plumbing failures have damaged significant historic finishes, and the mechanical systems no longer meet modern standards for environmental quality and control.

Designed by an international team of architects, the iconic United Nations (UN) Headquarters complex was intended to accommodate 50 member states and 700 conferences each year. Today, it houses 193 members, holds 8,000 meetings, and receives millions of visitors annually. This exponential growth, along with time, has taken a toll on the early 1950s complex. Page provided comprehensive renovation of the Conference and General Assembly Buildings as well as historic preservation planning and oversight for the entire campus.
