VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL

Projects from 1993-2002

This is a series of residential designs throughout the 1990s including individual proposals and a number designed with Architecture Incorporated. Most of these projects represent an attempt to work within the constraints of typical residential construction conventions and regionally influenced formal aspects while attempting a reasonable “push of the envelope” in relation to site particularities, spatial and formal interrelationships, and specific attention to the clients various desires. Most of my earlier projects were, at base, attempts at convincing clients that, within a reasonable cost differential, there was a better way to build than merely yanking some anonymous suburban “Châteaux” or “Mediterranean” out of a grocery store plan book, adjusting the master closet size and expanding the garage, and sticking it on a steeply sloped site. In subsequent residential designs for Architecture, Incorporated I was afforded the opportunity to expand upon this design direction with both larger commissions and a couple of urban loft projects (also see the Miller and Alabama Residences – the former of which we secured through and was developed in relation to my earlier Rochester Residence design).
