PROJECTS

The following are links to various projects I have been involved with over the past several years.

Barn - Fort Wayne
Old barns are becoming uneconomical to use and deteriorating. Gary (who grew up on a farm) painted these old places on his days off, just for the cost of the paint. Hearing this, I suggested that he move his practice to a barn. His face lit up, and the journey began. After many false starts we found the old Busche bank barn within the city limits of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Busche's remaining family jumped at the chance to preserve it. 
Loft in Atlanta.  David was trained in New York and enjoyed the simple appeal of the loft apartments he had seen. The office he was choosing to leave was spacious and had beautiful views of nature. I found it frightening to try and give him a new special space in a building he had purchased in another part of town. Besides being much smaller it let in little light.
Joe is on the leading edge of dental technology and treatment and needed an office that reflected this. He and a podiatrist joined forces on the new building as they had before. A beautiful wooded lot raised above the surrounding area was purchased and allowed their building to overlook the countryside. Large stones are quarried in the area which can be seen bordering their property. Each one approaches the size of a small car.
In Wichita, Kansas Linda found a piece of land to build on that had been used as a farm in the past.  Our Manhattan, NYC residence started with a dilapidated 300 sq.ft unit.  The changes are dramatic and prompted a feature in the NY Times.


Our Santa Barbara residence needed much reconstruction after twenty years as rental property.
