Shed: Mountain Bikers Design Pro Prefab Sheds in Colorado
Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski and his wife Heather Irmiger are professional cyclists with a heap of titles between them – and they have at least eight mountain bikes each. Since the bikes were eating up so much of their living space, […]

Time to Purge
This is a good summary for the weekend as my family and I worked hard on removing clutter. Maybe we should have read the book before working, though. Ah well, maybe next weekend.

My old stomping ground – Excellent PGH work
This is very close to my first professional office out of school, and makes me want to return to see the other changes to South Side. Wouldn’t be too bad to take in a Steeler playoff game, either.

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 […]

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 […]
