Luckett and Farley worked with Meyer, Scherer, & Rockcastle to provide architectural and engineering services for the renovation of and addition to the Shawnee Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library. The project called for the creation of “an inspiring Community Gathering Place, a building welcoming to all age groups, a flexible and sustainable building,” and “a building that fosters creativity.”
Luckett & Farley provided design services for Louisville Metro’s first green vegetative roof on the Metro Development 444 South Fifth Street building. This project replaces the existing built up roof on the early 20th-century building with an extensive, low-maintenance green roof utilizing 160 tons of gravel, planting medium, trees, and over 10,000 indigenous plantings on the six-story, 12,000 SF roof. The green roof increases insulation value and decreases storm water runoff while reducing the heat temperature of the roof, mitigating contribution to heat island effect in the city.
