Harrison Medical Center

Armourcoat Spatulata has been specified for use at the new Heart and Vascular Center at Harrison Medical Center, Bremerton WA.

Local architects Rice Fergus Miller have used the distinctive wall finish to act as a memorable landmark within the reception space, and complement the curved cherry entrance wall and site branding.

The Spatulata finish is pure luxury. Pioneered by the Egyptians, improved by the Romans, it became known as 'stucco lustro veneziano' by the Venetians. Modern additives have greatly improved the working characteristics enabling it to be successfully applied in just 3-4 layers and polished to a glassy shine with a small steel blade or trowel.

The $14.6 million Heart and Vascular Center - serving the healthcare needs of residents in a four-county area on the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas - is designed for clinical efficiency while at the same time enhancing quality of care and increasing patient safety.

Rice Fergus Miller HQ Achieves LEED Platinum Status

Washington based architects Rice Fergus Miller's new office and studio in Bremerton, WA features a stunning external polished plaster entrance wall.

Rice Fergus Miller completely renovated the former Sears Automotive Center, a 1948 building that was vacant for 23 years, for its new office and studio. The space is a laboratory for innovative design and experimentation, combining sustainable energy and water use features with the recycling of an abandoned and forgotten downtown building shell.

The LEED® platinum building is the first of its kind on the Olympic Peninsula and the most energy efficient office building in the Puget Sound region.
