Project: 2008 Emerging Architects Pheonix Heights Housing Design Competition
Client: Habitat for Humanity - Jacksonville Chapter (HabiJax)
Location: Jacksonville, Florida
Construction Budget: $85 per square foot for each residence
The task was to design 2-3 single family residences that would become part of The Pheonix Heights Development. The designs would be used as templates to be repeated throughout the neighborhood development. The desire was to get away from the standard Habitat homes with a more modern/contemporary design.
And so, we began with the classic child's image of a house (single door, two windows and a pitched roof). This image was the genesis of both The Bungalow and The Charleston home design. With such a small construction budget for each home, the use of material and color became paramount in achieving a more contemporary aesthetic. While we were constricted by using more traditional building materials like horizontal siding, brick veneer and architectural shingles, by using them in different ways we were able to "update" that classic image of a house into something more of our time.
These designs along with others were presented to the HabiJax team for their use in designing one or more new neighborhoods. While not currently under construction, there are plans for these designs to be used in future projects.

Project: 2008 Emerging Architects Design Competition - Jacksonville Chapter
Client: Clara White Mission
Location: Jacksonville, Florida
The scope of this competition was to create a Community Center on 11 acres of land on the Northside of Jacksonville, Florida for the Clara White Mission. The complex was to include a senior living center, low income apartments for families, an administration building and the Community Center itself that would include adult education classrooms, a teaching restaurant, recreational space and offices.
Existing on site was an old house, the house of Clara White who started the mission in 1901, that needed to be addressed in the master plan.
The solution became a desire to express and celebrate the roots and the beginnings of The Clara White Mission, so the original house was moved from its original location at the North East corner of the site to the center of the oculus which can be seen in the renderings. The building forms came about by using site geometry and a desire to "reach out" and surround the central oculus or gardens.
Overall I believe the solution was successful and took into consideration the true vision of The Clara White Mission for this project, but it did not ultimately win the competition.

The challenge was to design a signature building for Solantic Walk-In Urgent Care that would originally have been built as a model for all future centers. The solution came from a desire to design a structure that would catch the eye of passers-by but not be overly obtrusive. Using tilt panel construction and coupling Art Deco elements with a Modern twist, the end result is a building that would be engaging at the human scale, be instantly recognizeable as a Solantic Urgent Care Center, but still allow flexibility for future tenants.
Soon, Murray Hill will have its very own Billiard Parlor. In my opinion this is a huge step forward. While walking down Edgewood you can't help but notice the lack of life on the streets. Even on a Friday night there are frighteningly few patrons out at the various businesses. Choices are minimal, but they are growing. Edgewood Bakery starts it all off. And, if you haven't been there, shame on you. Then comes the Houka Lounge, which is pretty damn groovy, complete with belly dancers and groovy art on the walls. Then all the way down Edgewood is Moonriver Pizza. Not really anything else in between but a laundry mat and a body shop that has seen better days. But the latest additions, which may end up opening around the same time, are the Cews and Brews Billiard Parlor and 1171 Restaurant next to Aura Thai.
The Billiard Parlor has been met with extreme criticism from local residents. I still don't understand their distaste for a place of business that will bring much needed pedestrians to a growing commercial corridor. If Murray Hill is to succeed as a neighborhood we need to encourage more businesses that add to the nightlife of the area. We'll see what the future brings. I'll be there for opening night, whenever that is, so whoever wants to join let me know.

Above is a thread on Archinect.com that I recently posted to. I post it here to get some feedback on what anyone may think about the ethical ramifications of such actions as are described by Kellyness.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
