Your Own Personal Work

[SLO]

I posted some of these before, but just moving this project to Imgur and figuring out how it works. I've got several other projects will post soon.

A recent project:

Recently a lot of projects me an my team rendered, have completed. I thought I would share a compilation video of the renderings we did compared to the finished photography.
Enjoy!

Good to see that people are sharing their creativity by showing different blogs, websites and anything. I am owner of a lash bar lash extension academy long island which is my passion and it is very close to my heart. Because I built it when nobody was with me.

How to design a guest house on a hillside site and not ruin the 120 degree ocean views from the main residence?

That's really nice. What are you using? Lumion?

[jamespeterson]

WOW. You have some amazing work. Love it.

There are few things I like more in architecture than taking something that has outlived its usefulness and giving it new life. Over the past few years, I've been working on a city block adaptive re-use project in the tiny beach hamlet of Carpinteria, California. This little town is very special to me in that I lived there for 4 years as a kid in the 80s and spent many a vacation there after, until finally returning to the area in 2003.

Carpinteria is like many small places. Nobody wants it to change. This is a city that has grown by 1000 people in 40 years. Not exactly progressive. It has a wonderful little beachy downtown where there is a hodgepodge collection of buildings, all from different eras and vernacular. Nothing looks the same.

So when asked by a developer to look at an appropriate solution for an entire city block right in the middle of the downtown strip from the beach? Well, we looked at the entire context. What was there, what is there, and what could be there that wouldn't look like we landed a spaceship on the city.

Faced with daunting 2 story height maximums, unfortunate parking requirements, and massive public input, we got to work.

In the end, we delivered something that the City and especially my team are very proud of. This is just the shell buildings (the tenants are under construction now), but we believe that we have created something that will be useful for another 50-75 years.

We haven't had this professionally photographed yet (waiting for the TI's to finish), but I wanted to share it here...

What it was...

The project never had a name as we were designing it, and sadly the owners chose the rather blah name of 'Linden Square'.
https://www.linden-square.com/

Internally we refer to the development by building: 'Hardware', since the corner building served as a hardware store for 40 years; 'Butler', since the hardware store occupied two buildings and one was made from steel frames; and the 'Butterfly', after the unique butterfly roof we created that played off the existing chevron facade.

Architecture is an odd career in that you can work on a project for years and once it's complete, rarely get to experience it again. This project is not that. I'm happy to say I've contributed to the streetscape and downtown experience of a small town that I dearly love.

That's great. I'd definitely hang out.

After 5 years of construction, our Hope Ranch modern house is finally completed (renderings featured earlier in this thread). We haven't had it professionally photographed yet as we are waiting for the landscaping to bloom in March/April.

What an amazing client and contractor. In 25 years of practice, I've never had a build this clean. Every detail built to the gnat's ass, no value engineering of any kind, and the rare occasion when the finished product is more exceptional than the original renderings and vision.

I've never been more challenged when detailing a building in my career and internally we call this thing 'the Swiss watch'.

Very nice! Are some of the louvers able to be rotated? Some details I like are the bedroom with floating fireplace, the shade garden behind the louvers, and even the generous towel warming rack!
