Whaddya doin'?

SandRoad

I'm interested in what projects people on this site are currently working on... gotta be some great stuff out there... got anything to brag about? Or complain about?

I've got a 60,000 SF clinic design and manage -- tight budget -- but good client. Definitely my largest project...
Side project -- a house on a secluded, wooded, hilly, 12 acre site. If I can figure out how to post pics, I have some 3D images.

Whatcha got?

Typical, but good projects and clients: a major gut and addition on a historic house, several new kitchen/master suite/game room/etc. renovations on other existing houses.

Fun and atypical: ground up house on a downtown site.

Really interesting (and challenging): a prototype transit shelter that incorporates changing poetry installations.

Private mixed use on an awesome site with a good budget, duplex art gallery on the ground level, three private artist residences above, lots of green (two landscaped green roofs on two levels), teak sunshades on the facade, near a park in brooklyn, starting to dig in a couple of weeks, really excited about this one.

16,000 SF single family townhouse on the Upper East Side, NYC.
the townhouse is comprised of 2 adjacent 8,000 SF historic brownstones.


each of the brownstones is 20' wide (PL to PL). the party wall is being selectively demo'd...

great client with a very modern sensibility and a healthy budget.

posted elsewhere before, but i like it, so....








this is the mvp sports center, a 100k recreation center designed to accommodate people with a variety of physical and mental disabilities, i.e., everyone. site plan shows 6 hole golf course, driving range, and putting green, all with artificial tees and greens and fully accessible. (paths not yet shown.) building includes sports courts, dance studios, three pools (competition, activity, and therapy), arts rooms, computer rooms, physical therapy spaces, etc. with 'accessibility' as a sort of theme for the project, even the roof spaces are accessible for gathering/activities.

14,000 photography studio - yes it's huge. Great project, cool design, artistic client, it has a flat in it too. Great site, great contractor, over budget.

110 unit affordable senior housing - nothing too exciting.

177 unit high end senior housing with 4 multistory healthcare wing too - historic district, very cool site and project. On hold.

12 "urban" lofts - existing shell, gutting interior, exterior facelift. Has potential, but too early to tell yet.

Pool and clubhouse for suburban community. Pretty good project - lots of glass, open timbers, contemporary style. Horrible contractor.

128 unit affordable housing - quite possibly the worst project in the world

Small group home for disabled people - nothing special. I'm just going CD's.

12 unit apartment building. Traditional style.

TI for contractor's on site offices.

let's hope its not TOO expensive! it's a private foundation behind it, with the land purchased by the city.

liberty bell> is a "vex" modelling...

A city map is being resampled, that its X axis is governed by "A" function, and Y axis governed by "B" function... then certain aspect of "A" will feed into certain aspect of "B", and in return certain aspect of "B" will feed into certain apect of "A".... and so on....

Am now involved in another project -- small urban waterfront / greenspace / parkway development.

Steven -- nice project... and BIG... what program are the renderings from? Were you lead design?



Nov 30, 07 10:32 am  ·

thanks, sandroad. the whole project is being developed in revit, though some of production will be offloaded into autocad. i'm leading the charge, but with a design crew is as team-like as possible.

the initial design proposals were mine and i get to be the arbiter, critic, and initiator of major changes in design direction (much to the chagrine of the team). (see the flickr link for history.) the guy driving revit has also made some of the major design decisions and i've got someone else doing detailed space development studies. we just now starting cds.

sw, which revit are you guys using? Those renders have me guessing 2008. I can't pull those off in 9. I've been exporting my 3d view to max and using mental ray for all my stuff. I just got a copy of revit 2008 this week. I can't wait to play with it. (although I'm still iffy on the whole revit thing...)

Steven, thanks for posting your noble BIM project. I can't wait to see the project finished and see the wheelchairs switchbacking up there.

As for me, I'm on a little hiatus to put my family together after a humpty-dumpty during the summer. But before I left, it was planting cd's for a community college improvement, sketchup studies of a beach house landscape and a residence in the hills, site visits to a swingin' pad's pool-spa-deck under construction.

I have to thank archinect for the things I've learned here; I think it made me go from CADchimp to #2 in the office (whoa, CADchimp to #2? Former President Bush playing with windmills? Bob Dylan promoting Escalades? It must be the end of the world!).

As a thank you, here's your Easter Egg (off season): In sketchup, set a bunch of views to make a walkthrough or flythrough. Export the sequence as a movie, but format it so it spits out a series of jpegs (have a target folder ready somewhere on your computer). Carefully put this folder in your ipod. Open the set in ipod and center click on the first image. Instead of pressing play, scroll through the series of images with the wheel. It's a neat little interactive bauble! With a set of 500 photos, this works best on the tall nano's, perfectly okay on the ipod videos, and okay but clunky at times on an ipod classic.

Alpen glow on the mountains, thinking about skiing tomorrow and contemplating the first drink of the evening whilst xmas shopping on line.

Finished the DP set for client review Monday about 20 min. ago and started to strategize over a couple of new projects that came in this week.
