Savannah Rapids Pavillion
The Gift of Site
This multi-purpose facility was directly inspired by its environment. Perched on a 50 foot cliff, the large structure, built with natural materials, seems to rise from the ground, becoming part of the landscape rather than competing with it. Large windows and a deck take advantage of the commanding views and pay tribute to the original inspiration of tall trees, hanging moss and the sound of the rapids.

Performing Arts Center
Great Performances
A proposal that hasn't come to construction fruition (yet), the Augusta Performing Arts Center was inspired by both the specifics of a site on the banks of the Savannah River and the function it must fulfill. The facade was inspired by sheet music and the incorporation of brightly colored banners by the constant movement of the river below.

AG Edwards
Corporate Communication
Designed with both the financial services company's long history and fulfilling a specific function in mind, the AG Edwards building uses traditional devices such as columns, a peaked portico and low roofline to convey a sense of strength and history while remaining relatively compact.

It’s easy to consider the environmental impact a building will have when I consider the probable lifespan of a structure I work on. While energy efficiency and resource management might save a relatively nominal amount in the short term, the buildings we build are not designed as temporary constructions. These projects, be it a church or office, retail space or a government building, are meant to survive the test of time. That means those little steps we make to conserve power or water or any other resource is compounded by the years the building is expected to thrive and survive. |
