ARCHITECTURAL WORKS

SCHEMATIC DESIGN

Sunset & GordonS&G was a Multi-Sto-

ry, Mixed-Use Tower that not only incorporated an existing historical build-ing, but included Ground Level Retail, Offi ce Space, and Residential space.

Being a fast-paced proj-ect with several concerned parties to please, this proj-ect required the weekly creation of Sexy Images. These images were includ-ed with a design packet that kept all concerned par-ties updated to the sched-ule, design, and progress.

After helping with the initial massing and the early Schematic Design, my tasks mostly consisted of creating those “Sexy” images using a combination of SketchUp, Photoshop and InDesign.

My RoleAfter helping with the

initial massing and the early Schematic Design, my tasks mostly consisted of creating those “Sexy” images using a combina-tion of SketchUp, Photo-shop and InDesign. The primary reason for using this specifi c combination of programs was the need for quick turnaround. By set-ting up a photoshop back-ground with context and street life, we were able to continue developing the design without loosing ren-dering time every time a design decision was made.

BUILT WORKS

ELP Dream ShopAs the economy

crashed and my job fell pray to our nation’s fi nancial dis-tresses, I had the opportu-nity to head home and help my family out after a very unfortunate fi re. This fi re gave way to a Dream Shop.

My role in this proj-ect was comprehensive. I designed, developed, and constructed this shop from the ground up.

Our goal was to build a functional, super-insu-lated building that would stand the test of time on a ranch. With an insulation rating approaching an R40 in the walls and an R60 in the ceiling we could create a large space that is kept at a comfortable working temperature. The insula-tion factors only being half of the battle, we installed a ground source heat pump to effi ciently heat all spaces.

ELP Guest QuartersWithin this Dream

Shop we created an apartment that could be used for guests, an additional employee, or even a small rental.

This design incorpo-rates the same concepts of energy effi ciency that the rest of the project relies on. Being a project that is more of a luxury than an essential structure, we tried to incor-porate as many money sav-ing strategies as we could without sacrafi cing qual-ity. Some of these strate-gies included salvaged or custom made hardware, electric fence insulators for structural cable supports, and a rubber stock tank converted to a tub/shower.

MASTER-PLANNING

Story MillStory Mill was a large

Master-Planning project that included adaptive re-use of an abandoned Grain Storage facility along with the development of single and multiple family neighborhoods.

The Mill became a town center where Busi-nesses, Services and High-Density Housing existed as an anchor for the multi-family and single-family homes that scattered the rest of the development.

My primary task on this project was to de-velop initial massings for the high-desity develop-ment, create plans and imagery that would get all concerning parties excited about the project, and act as an advisor to my col-leges about local nuances of the site and community.

El RinconEl Rincon was a mas-

sive Resort Development that included terrain that ranging from prime Beach-Front to Sharp Hillsides. Within this development were Name-Brand re-sort plots, multiple golf courses, multi-acre pri-vate lots, single home lots and a town-center.

My primary task on this project was to help cre-ate plans and imagery that would express design in-tentions to clients, excite fu-ture buyer, and show con-trolling municipalities or intentions for the property.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

Block 4242 was another Mixed-

Use, Multi-Story tower that included Ground Level Re-tail with Apartments above.

Being on the preci-pice of the fi nancial melt-down, this project was not a typical fast-paced document set. We were limited to 40hrs per week so that the developer could “feel-out” the mar-ket as the crash loomed.

My RoleOn top of document

coordination, my primary task for this project was to design and draw all required details for this structure. Believing that all Architects should know how their designs are built, I asked for this challenge.

Considering that this project was never built, I did not have the opportu-nity to see how accurate and complete my detail-ing ended up. I am con-fi dent that I would have fl ourished in this task.

R E N D E R I N G

BellevueBellevue was a pair of

Mixed-Use Condo Tow-ers that were already un-der construction when I joined the team. They needed some marketing images that they could show to real estate agents and perspective buyers.

Using the construc-tion set as a guide, my primary task was to build the 3D models and ren-der the fi nishes based on what the Interior Design team picked. This involved several rounds of back-and-forth between Client, Design Team, and myself.

RepleoRepleo was a proj-

ect without a site. The idea was to develop a design that could move hand-in-hand with the branding of a product.

My primary tasks were to develop the simple and practical 3D set of spaces, place furniture and fi n-ishes within those spaces, render those spaces and place people and con-text in the fi nal images.
