O'Riordan Migani Architects is an architectural and planning practice established in 1986. Joan O'Riordan and Joseph Migani bring over sixty years of combined experience to their primarily institutional and commercial clientele. The firm is a certified Women's Business Enterprise (MBE) in the State of Connecticut OMA's Mission is to facilitate capital asset development and management within the non-profit housing sector in service of the larger societal goals of providing affordable housing and empowering tenants with the opportunity to determine their own path in life. Our focus is on assisting our clients in achieving these goals in the most efficient and effective way possible. OMA's Approach has been refined over 37 years of service within the public sector to non-profits, housing authorities, municipalities, institutions, and religious organizations. Our focus is to provide timely and accurate advice to clients in pursuit of quality affordable housing. It can best be summarized by examples of projects undertaken by the firm and the result of those efforts. Lockwood House Museum – OMA is working with the City of Norwalk and the Norwalk Historic Commission on the phased rehabilitation and modernization of the City’s Lockwood House Museum. The firm is developing alternative renovation scope and cost scenarios, one of which will be selected for phased implementation over the next four years as funding becomes available. Sterling Community Center - OMA has work with the City of Stratford in creating a phased restoration, modernization and expansion for the National Historic Register Sterling House. The project entailed significant input from community stakeholders in developing consensus around a viable use and implementation plan. 16 Bank Street Apartments - O'Riordan Migani Architects acquired, developed, restored and rehabilitated two historic structures in downtown Seymour, Connecticut in an innovative public/private partnership with the Seymour Housing Authority. The field of dreams project was funded by the Naugatuck Valley Savings and Loan Association, the State DECD and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board of Boston. It consisted of 15,000 sq.ft. including 12 elderly apartments and four retail stores and is serving as a economic development generator in what was a boarded up and vacant downtown center. The project was successfully financed and delivered, has won multiple design awards, and is currently featured on the FHLBB website. Mission/Taylor Work-Force Housing - OMA designed ten units of work force housing in downtown Stamford, Connecticut for New Neighborhoods Initiative, a non-profit housing developer. The project was funded by DECD, CHFA and the City of Stamford and entailed the rehabilitation of a historic building and new construction. The project required exhaustive review and approvals which OMA successfully navigated in record time. It was successfully delivered on time and within budget. Valley Supportive Housing - Twenty units of scattered site housing in five buildings located in two municipalities were developed by the non-profit housing developer, Home Inc, for a social service agency, The Birmingham Group. OMA provided site evaluations, preliminary feasibility studies and cost estimates which allowed the project to be funded and implemented. Gaining approval for the project required successful State and Federal lawsuits against one of the municipalities which illegally tried to block the project. Once authorization to proceed was won, the CHFA funded project was successfully delivered on time and within budget.

Brookside Cooperative - O'Riordan Migani prepared a Capital Needs Assessment for the oldest and largest housing cooperative in the State of Connecticut. The CNA has become the basis for a $3,500,000 funding application to DECD for deferred maintenance improvements. Funding and implementation is anticipated in 2012. Hales Court - OMA was brought in on special assignment as a Construction Administration Architect for the $25,000,000 Hales Court Affordable Housing project in Westport. Interpersonal conflicts within the project team had caused the project to complete to a complete standstill only six months into construction. Within six months, the construction was back on schedule. The project was completed on time and within budget without legal claims in the Fall of 2011. Summary Approach - in each of the above representative projects, the OMA Service Approach can be summarized as follows:

• focus on client service - on using expertise to facilitate realization of Client objectives • team player -ability to seamlessly become part of Client's facility management and

development team • planning background - ability to analyze land use alternatives objectively • design talent - ability to generate and evaluate multiple design solution strategies

simultaneously • balanced attitude - good design does not begin or end with only what a building looks like. It

must create a successful place which increases the quality of life within the community. • mastery of state-of-the-art digital delivery systems - ability to develop and present building

designs using real time computer modeling • accurate internal costing of proposed project based upon current 'on the ground'

experience • practical construction experience - deep understanding of how construction material

assemblies are delivered in the field and how they perform over time • forensic experience - demonstrated track record in rescuing distressed projects • ability to think outside the architect box - at various time in their careers, the Principals of

OMA have worked as developer, architect, general contractor, property manager and property owner.

Team Dynamic - O'Riordan Migani Architects project delivery model is a traditional one where the Architect leads an experienced team of Engineers and a Landscape Architect. Engineers include mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, fire safety, civil, site, hazmat and survey disciplines. The Architect, as Team Leader, manages and directs the design process with the goal of producing the most effective, durable and cost effective solution possible. The OMA Principle assigned to a project stays with it and has point responsibility for its successful delivery. Every project undertaken by OMA in its history has been successfully delivered.

O'Riordan Migani Architects is proposing the development of a new boutique hotel and millennial apartment tower on the historic Derby Green across from the Sterling Opera House. The tower has water views from three sides. The hospitality venue will lease the Opera House from the City, restore it and use it as an event space for the hotel. The project is bold, as were the industrialists in the early 1800's who created world wide markets for the products they invented and manufactured in Derby.
