Bridgeton, MO: Youth in Need’s Young Professionals Group presented their annual Trivia Night and Auction on Friday, May 20^th at the Bridgeton Recreation Center. Rosemann was pleased to sponsor and participate at this important, fun-filled evening, which included 10 Rounds of trivia, a silent auction, raffles and more!

All proceeds from the event benefited the continuation and growth of Youth in Need’s programs such as, early childhood development, street outreach, residential programs, crisis counseling and foster care—serving nearly 10,000 children, youth and families each year.

Although the competition was fierce, Rosemann’s team dominated the artist, band and pop culture categories. Luckily, they correctly answered that ‘Cement Pond’ is the right nickname for the Beverly Hillbillies’ swimming pool. Our enthusiastic table of architects became stumped at the question, “What is Cavendish?” They now know and will never forget that cavendish is a type of fruit, a banana!

Rosemann’s architectural team member and Youth in Need board member Drew Jablonski said, “the night surpassed our fundraising target, raising over $4,000. Thanks to all of the sponsor and to more than 130 people and 16 teams for your attendance. We had a great time, and we are grateful for everyone’s participation.”

Continuing our celebration of the National “Preservation Month” we urge you to reflect on historic preservation by recognizing the diverse and unique heritage of our country’s historic places, and, their stories, traditions, and legacies.

Today, we are delighted to highlight the former Mary Leila Cotton Mill, which was transformed into Mary Leila Lofts in 2017, an affordable, green, loft apartment community in Greensboro, Georgia. The historic integrity of the old mill and the beautiful original architectural features of the past such as high ceilings and old brass fittings were well preserved.

The project team also saved features like wood flooring, while incorporating
state-of-the-art technology, including solar panels, which provide energy needs to common lounge areas and gym facilities, as well as installing new eco-friendly windows, all illustrating that preservation can be achieved through intentional and sustainable design.

The 71 loft apartments have one, two, and three bedroom apartments each with a distinctive look. Additional amenities include a club style gathering room, a state of the art exercise room, outdoor swimming pool, wine cellar, and sculpture garden courtyard.

As we spread the word about National Historic Preservation Month, celebrate the places you love by sharing your photos at #thisplacematters.

Hailing from Youngstown Ohio, Joe joined Rosemann’s Midtown Atlanta office in April 2022. He graduated from Kent State University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in architecture. A native of Northeast Ohio, Joe spent his senior year at Kent State’s Florence Italy campus, where he returned after graduation to complete an internship at a boutique design studio.

Joe has practiced architecture in Pittsburgh (PA) and eventually Atlanta, for a cumulative five years before bringing his passion and experience to Rosemann. His background is in commercial, where he is comfortable working on both new and existing construction. Another specialty is contextual renovation, including multiple-floor redesigns of offices, medical facilities, malls, and civic buildings.

Joe brings a strong work ethic, pragmatism, and international perspective cultivated through years of study, travel, and work, as well as a strong grasp of historical design. Above all, he is a reliable resource who meets deadlines and adapts quickly to new environments and software.  

“We are excited to have Joe join our Atlanta team as we continue to add the finest resources to our firm to best serve our clients throughout the country,” said Rosemann’s COO Scott Rosemann,

When not designing buildings, Joe uses his free time to pursue the arts – whether enjoying the masterworks of Atlanta’s High Museum of Art or making the art himself. Joe uses pastel, charcoal, and oil paint to make portraits, figure drawings, and cityscapes – many of which he gives away to family and friends as gifts.  He loves international travel and plans annual visits to Venice to see the Biennale. Joe speaks three languages including English, Spanish, and Italian.
