We are a small studio of architects and consulting engineers providing a considerable cross section of services. In the last two years we have drafted grant applications, prepared form based codes, master-planned a traditional town development!, designed two libraries, completed a municipal facilities study, designed a streetscape enhancement for an historic Main Street, designed a new public works facility, designed a new animal control facility, designed a new city hall, designed two police stations, designed a new community center, designed a new branch fire station with E.O.C., designed a new 44 acre park, designed a linear park system, written a park design standards manual, developed interpretive signage, designed a multi-purpose outdoor events venue (including a Major League Soccer Field), developed property condition assessments, held over ten stakeholder workshops, and more.
In the last five years, our work has also included: A new high school gym, a new high school classroom building, a masterplan of a 1A school district campus, a grant for a new high school library, a private school kindergarten building, a private school classroom building in an historic district, an airport tricherator (yeah, that's what we said too), re-roofing of a municipal electric company headquarters, Site analysis and selection consulting for a new US Post Office, a new Pack and Mail postal store, a local beauty salon, consulting with a Volunteer Fire Department on a new facility, consulting with a citizen group on a new city park, consulting with yet another citizen group on redevelopment strategies for their historic traditional town center, consulted on the development of a master plan for a non-profit one-stop campus and more still.
We have overhauled our entire computer system and installed new Apple Macintosh machines. We have invested entirely in Archicad, a Building Information Modeling system invented by architects just for architecture. We have moved our offices to a vertically integrated mixed use project in a vibrant traditional town development in historic New Braunfels, Texas. We now have the ideal place to host informal discussions and formal in-service training on development standards, city department operations, and building assemblies. Soon we'll invite you over for a visit.
We are interested in Traditional Neighborhood Development, master planning, vertically integrated mixed use development, form-based coding, parks and recreation, interpretive centers, municipal facilities and schools. We are proud of our ability to help all kinds of people articulate their thoughts and heartfelt desires for their projects without the use of proprietary architecture and urban planning vocabularies. We are pleased to talk about the value of traditional development and to discuss specific site development plans for commercial projects. We are excited about vibrant busy places for real people to thrive. And we will be thrilled to listen to your story about your growing town or district.
