Biking summer almost here
And more cool bike images on a Friday as we get closer to being able to come into the office without the car again. Love this one. http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/04/15/chainless-electric-and-so-urban/ and this one from VW http://www.fastcompany.com/1632669/vws-first-ever-two-wheeler-fits-in-your-spare-tire-compartment?partner=homepage_newsletter
Green Building – Coolidge, AZ
Here is an update on an exciting project in Coolidge, Arizona. Coolidge is a town of about 12,000 people 50 miles south of Phoenix. I’m working with a landowner there to develop about 60 acres into about 48 new 1 AC home sites. The houses will take on the rural […]
Website Update – 2010
Finally, 2010 is here. Finally. 2009 was such a rocky year for the architecture industry as a whole, that it seems even little changes appear like big ones. While I was really busy over the holiday season working on a project deadline (in addition to eating too many cookies), I was also […]
Updated project rendering – 34° N
Another project rendering update – I guess it is officially a theme this week. Here is the upgrade to the GCC rendering. This one has the best head of steam in the office right now it seems, and we are working through CD’s now. Construction is set to begin in […]
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness
These are images from the bridge dedication at Carnegie Mellon University for Randy Pausch. Randy is the author of “The Last Lecture.” Although this is important and worthy of mention all on its own, there is a reason it is on my mind today and I’m posting about it as […]
Updated project rendering – MOSS
Here is the progress of the design for the Museum of Science and Sustainability. We are anticipating a dome-shaped shell with a green roof. The shape will be staggered to allow for a relatively easy installation of the prefab green roof palette containers, and will provide for a very interesting […]
Kicking it, old school
I came across these images as we were cleaning up the servers, and was feeling nostalgic. Imagine that – hand sketches and photoshop. This makes me wish I had time to sketch today, but I don’t, so instead I’ll just post these as my offering to the sketch gods.
Rev it up
Here are some progress images of the design for Gila County Chopper. The second floor deck is going to allow for incredible views, and will double as extended display areas for bikes on special occasions. The new masonry wall that has been added is reusing existing masonry that is on […]
New Construction Pics – Keiser Residence
Here are some additional photos – things are moving right along. It looks like things will be ready for the exterior modifications and the landscape soon, which means that the yard will look great just about the time that the temperature here in Phoenix goes from broil to beautiful.
urbanSHED – New competition
This is an interesting competition, and I’m going to try and squeeze this one in. From the Bustler blog: “The urbanSHED International Design Competition challenges the global design community to re-think the current sidewalk shed standard and create a prototype worthy of today’s New York City. We invite engineers, architects, […]
