We're Famous!

For as long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed reading the local Sandpaper (http://thesandpaper.villagesoup.com/). So, since I don't live in the area anymore, even though I am there for work everyday, my grandmother saves each weeks' edition for me to read. Imagine my surprise when I turn to the back page to see one of my renderings! Next stop is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today!

Avon-by-the-Sea Rendering

The workshop was recently asked to provide a rendering to present a conceptual design, within surrounding context, to a local planning board. Given a set of floorplans, 4 elevations and several site images, the renders below were created.

Designing a House in Guyana - Alternative Option

A little while back I wrote a post about a preliminary designs for a house in South America (http://creativemindsgroupworkshop.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/designing-a-house-in-guyana-preliminary/). Since then, the workshop has provided the client with a second design alternative, with a very similar layout, except now a more singular massing form. We did did tweak a couple things, like the location of the gym and entertainment area, and added a cabana, but for the most part, a very similar concept. Please take a look at the two and let us know which you prefer!

Drexel Portfolio - 6 Years of Design (one to go)

Six years in and all classes and electives complete. The only thing that stands between me and a degree in architecture is 9 months worth of Thesis. Since the Thesis will be a portfolio in and of itself, I decided to take this time of "calm before the storm" to complete my student portfolio. Looking back, it seems like the time flew by, although it didn't feel like that at any single point throughout the process... Take a look (by clicking on "PORTFOLIO"), let me know what you think!

Designing a House in Guyana - Preliminary

The workshop has been busy lately with exciting projects going on all over the world!!! Right now, we have exciting projects going on in Long Beach Island NJ, the British Virgin Islands, and Guyana!! Here is the preliminary design for a house in Guyana and, while the next phase of design will likely change the aesthetics considerably, we still think this is a nice house.
