RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

To create community is to orchestrate the lives of the people who occupy the homes you design. The following two projects are examples of work that I lead the design working with the clients desires to make them reality.

The 昀椀rst project in this section is Bedrock at the Trails. Albuquerque, New Mexico’s 昀椀rst build-to-rent community. Consisting of 199 townhomes and 145 detached single family homes on a 37-acre project as part of an even larger master-planned community in conjunction with other developers. My strategy of design was to nod toward a local vernacular with Spanish Colonial and Monterey elements and ornament but leverage the form of the townhomes to break the monotony of the solid stucco material. I did the same for the single-family detached going a level further by including masonry and more wood elements to have each home feel more unique within the community.

The next project is a vision for a planned community in Moab, Utah. A selection of duplexes and stacked 昀氀ats juxtaposed against the marvelous natural red rock environment. These buildings were crafted with the highest quality and budget. Ranging in price per unit from $1.3 million to $4.5 million. Where to begin on a project with this high of a production cost?

I asked me self this question and eventually came to the conclusion that a building of such caliber in such a location deserved to highligh its surroundings. With a pallet that compliiments the landscape and massive windows to invite the landscape in as part of the home.
