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 […]
SF Precedent – At home in PHX?
Not only is this an interesting solution, but it makes good financial sense to develop (even temporarily) underutilized sites in downtown PHX. Something like this would be right at home along Roosevelt, and help reinforce the City’s commitment to the developing art scene. This from the Architect’s Paper Blog, posting […]
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 […]
Keiser Residence – Progress Photos
Hard to believe, I know, but there are actually people in town that are building things. Yesterday I received a set of progress photos from Debby Keiser, and I was so excited to see them. I’m glad she agreed to let me post them here. This project included adding a […]
GCC – Initial design strategies
Here are some progress images of the beginnings of the design for the cycle / brew pub project in Strawberry. We are working today on making some changes after our conversation with the Owners, but I thought these might be interesting to post, and we can watch the design progress […]
Gila County Chopper – New Client
I’d like to take a moment to welcome some brand new clients to the RESET family – Gila County Chopper. Rocky and Mo at Gila County have plans to open a new and bigger shop in 2010 for the creation of their amazing rides (see images below), and they want […]
Keeping the hot side hot
There has been a lot of splash lately about radiant barriers, and most recently on its substantial impact in arid climates when applied to the bottom of the roof sheathing in attic spaces. My wife, in particular, wishes I would stop endlessly praising the benefits at every even slightly-related moment […]
“Revolution, baby.”
As I am working up a plan to try and salvage a large-scale residential project by taking a more in-depth look at the pro-forma (no small feat considering how land and housing prices have changed), I am reminded of the design successes we had on a similar project in Tempe […]
Friday fashionistas?
A new recurring topic at the blog? Ah no – I promise this won’t be a typical posting. There may not be anyone in town less able to contribute ravings, rantings, or even marginally witty banter in any significant way about all things related to fashion. My fashion sense begins and ends […]
Providing Shelter
Unemployment is rising quickly. The value of the dollar depreciates. Inflation is about to explode. For most of us, these things are conceptual in nature. They might have an residual effect on our behaviors in some token way, but mostly our lives continue on unchanged. For a quickly growing part […]
