Portfolio: Public Facilities

In January of 2001, I was asked to lead the architectural program for my current organization. Prior to 2001, the architects served primarily in a support role for an industrial building group. With the inception of a new Architecture and Planning division, I was able to lead a group of professionals to market public sector facilities, specializing in justice/corrections and recreation/community centers. The links below direct you to a sampling of the most recent projects that I have served as principal-in-charge or project manager. The bulk of my work was in the recreation center planning and design field (highlighted in the “Parks and Recreation” section), but I have taken advantage of this new challenge to spread the wings of our architectural practice in many different building types.

Affordable Housing

HOPE VI Projects (Nashville, TN) – Led the planning and architectural design teams in the conceptualizing, design and construction of three affordable housing neighborhoods in Nashville, TN. Each project involved the demolition of an existing public housing project and the design and development of a new, neo-traditional community consisting of mixed building types (row townhomes, stacked flats and single family) and other neighborhood amenities (parks, community buildings, etc.). Efforts combined to create over 1,000 affordable housing units with a total construction value of over $80 million

Three phase implementation program is underway with over 250 units being rehabilitated or developed in the area. Total project value = $15 million
