Columbia, Missouri
2007 - 2009
When a subdivision developer had a European-inspired aesthetic in mind for his new semi-custom, attached home development, he reached out to contacts at the University of Missouri. They referred him to me for help with the concept design and visualization.
My role included creating all the design work shown here, as well as with a number of additional floor plans, exterior designs, and construction drawings.
As part of the marketing efforts for the subdivision, I created several marker renderings of elevation styles that were compatible with many of the available floor plans offered by the developer.
At corner lots that were not suitable for attached homes, more elongated single family designs were explored using freehand sketches over a massing model.
Sketchup was also used to explore more complicated forms with greater accuracy.
Illustrations of each floor plan offered by the developer were created for marketing purposes.
A number of additional concept sketches were created and kept on hand by the developer as a reference for features that could be incorporated into each new house that was built.

When the City of Columbia decided to build a new downtown parking garage, they retained Peckham & Wright Architects to present design options to the City Council.
My responsibility was for drawing, rendering, and the majority of the design work up until construction documents. I was to develop four different schemes simultaneously which would be the options presented to the city. After the initial concept sketches were completed, each of the four principals at the firm directed me in developing one of the ideas.
To engage the primary street frontage, the ground level layout provides pedestrian-friendly active commercial space. To maximize potential utilization of the commercial area, entrances are provided at each bay so the space can be easily subdivided. A secondary walkway was created along the building to accommodate access to each entrance, as the stepped floor slab diverged in elevation from the existing sidewalk.
The design shown here was originally created to explore the idea of an offset grid design using a precast panelized system.
Schematic elevations were developed to formalize the design and were approved by city counil.

This was a feasibility, planning, and design exercise for multifamily apartments that were to be the first phase of a new development.
