Lillooet Project in Edible Boston

We are pleased to be part of this story, and hope that our passion for creative designs that are woven into local food enterprises will strike a chord with readers of Edible Boston.  Gillian and Nathaniel, the owners of Lillooet Sheep & Cheesery, are a young couple to be admired for following their passions. In so many ways, this design project is one of the most rewarding of my personal and professional life. That is also true for Rick Bernard, our Project Architect. His immersion in the cheese making process was significant, all to create a better design with Gillian.

“We hadn’t designed a cheesery before but that didn’t deter them,” says Bernard about Gillian and Nathaniel. “When Gillian worked in cheeseries, it was always an old building that was renovated so she was excited to design a space for the actual function of making cheese. We let her drive the design of what would work best for her.”

Our architecture firm is excited to be part of their success, as well as the success of all local enterprises that value preserving farmland, promoting local agriculture and pairing these with sustainable designs.
