MAJESTIC RIDGE RESIDENCE

Responsibilities included meeting with clients to discuss design options, review plan & elevation options, review detailing conditions, material selection, and overall conceptual scenarios. The steep grading of the site in addition to the clients sensitivity towards an existing Madrone Tree was key to the placement of the house. Strong communication and good design influenced this projects selection on the 2002 AIA home tour.

PHELPS RESIDENCE
Lake Charles, Louisiana

Project Designer for a 2,170 sf residence in Lake Charles, Louisiana. This house was designed for two teachers along with their two college daughters. When discussing the plans, we discovered that the clients valued open space and simplicity. Responsibilities included preliminary plans and elevation options for owner review prior to the schematic design phase, research of local building codes and accessibility requirements during schematic design phase. The general idea of design was prompted by the profession of the inhabitants, hence schoolhouse.

DOUBLE HORN RANCH
Austin, Texas

Christmas was very important to the owners as well as entertainment. They collected antique furniture which also influenced much of the design. Responsibilities included meeting with clients to discuss design options, review plan & elevation options, review detailing conditions, material selection, and overall conceptual scenarios.

CECILIA JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Cecilia, Louisiana

Designer and Construction Manager for a 30,000 sf junior high school
in Cecilia, Louisiana. The concept of this project was to have a central nervous system with arteries leading to Math, Science, English, and History classroom wings. Natural light, sturdy materials, cost efficiency, and a unique design were the desires of the Principal and School Board. Responsibilities included designing the new school building to attach to an existing structure to be renovated as new classroom space, document coordination, bidding and negotiations, construction administration. Project challenges such as unstable soil conditions requiring excavation and many drilled piers, restricted building area and forced a tight budget. Continued communication with the school’s staff and board helped us to create a final project that suite the needs of the thriving school.

UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA AT LAFAYETTE FOUNDATION BUILDING
Lafayette, Louisiana

Designer for the offices and meeting space of the UL Foundation. The Foundation Board desired a building that resembled the architectural style of the campus while still having a unique and timely feel. Responsibilities included programming the building to work with the Foundations current functions and some that they anticipated performing in the future. Also, concept, design, and material selection were key in creating a unified look and feel to this building. Good communication, graphics, and estimating contributed to acquiring consensus with the Foundation Board allowing the project to move from conception in a short period of time.
