Something tells me that I should be tweeting this mes-sage, or posting it on my timeline instead of writing it down and having it printed on actual paper with real ink.

This is, after all, the year 2015…when most of our informa-tion comes in packets of 140 characters or less. As a Gen-Xer (pretty sure that’s a word), I’ve had to evolve and adapt to a world where social media has changed the way we communi-cate, and increasingly, the way we do business as architects.

Just as technology is rapidly changing the way we commu-nicate and practice architecture, attitudes about architects and understandings (or lack there-of) of our profession are chang-ing just as rapidly. Much like the adjustments we have each had to make on a personal level, our architectural profession must also make changes at the institutional level to stay relevant. As you may be aware, in 2012 AIA National worked with a consul-tant, Kotter International, to research roles and perceptions of architects among the general public, members, and clients. By September of 2013, AIA combined feedback and key takeaways from the research into an Advancement Statement:

Together, we agree that the time is now to change the way we think and behave in order to become a more valued, relevant profession. The AIA will focus our priorities to:

• Elevate public awareness• Advocate for the profession• Expand and share knowledgeBold, visionary leadership is urgently needed to ensure

a prosperous future and to inspire architects to create a bet-ter world for all people—through architecture.

The goal of the study was to determine how the AIA should position architecture and architects in the context of current and changing client and public perceptions. This reposition-ing has created the foundation for an ongoing communication strategy that will clarify and demonstrate what architects do. It is designed to help build a better understanding and appre-ciation of architects’ roles among the general public.

In May of 2015 at this year’s national convention in At-lanta, the AIA will vote on a new set of by-laws. These by-law changes are occurring because AIA National recognizes that now is the time to change the way we think and behave in order to become a more valued, relevant profession.

In South Carolina, our chapter is responding to the reposi-tioning efforts in a significant way. On November 7, 2014 our chapter officially purchased a new home at 1530 Main Street in Columbia, SC and bid a fond farewell to the “Cottage” at 1522 Richland Street. What does this move to Main Street mean for

our chapter? It means opportunity. AIA South Carolina now has the opportunity to meet the priorities outlined in the na-tional Advancement Statement to elevate public awareness, advocate for the profession, and expand and share knowledge. • A storefront on Main Street increases public visibility for AIA

South Carolina and provides a physical space to engage the public.

• The new location is within walking distance of the State Capital and provides better proximity to advocate with state legislators and local businesses.

• The new space creates an opportunity to establish a Center for Architecture which would host programming and events to expand and share knowledge with our membership and the public.

This spring we will be hosting our annual state conference at the new Clemson One building in downtown Greenville, SC on March 26-28th. “Design Generation” is the conference theme with a focus on the issues related to attracting and re-taining the next generation of architects in our profession. In that same context, we have provided an open door to students and faculty at Clemson to attend and be a part of the confer-ence – creating opportunities for engagement and interaction between our current generation of architects and our emerg-ing generation of architects.

It is a privilege to serve you as President in 2015 and I am grateful for this opportunity. Exciting changes are taking place for AIA South Carolina and I am fortunate to be a part of it. They say you get out what you put in – and if that’s the case, then our AIA leadership along with all of our AIA members can look forward to reaping the benefits of the tremendous efforts that have been driving these changes!

FEATURE ARTICLE

archimania was conceived in 1995 with the desire to do progres-sive and creative design work in

a region outside the centers of fashion – a region that desperately needed it and still does. We began with simple principles and strived to develop an open office cul-ture that was based on dialogue and con-versation. The office was planned to have a studio feel: an office of collaboration with design excellence as the goal. Every project would be important – no matter the project size or budget. The creative process would rule. This was sort of our mantra. It still is.

So, with this in mind, archimania was established on July 4, 1995 and will cel-ebrate its 20th anniversary in 2015. The firm’s name was created by founding part-ner Todd Walker, FAIA and is synony-mous with the firm’s mission as previous-ly stated. Barry Yoakum, FAIA became co-partner in 2001. The firm has matured

and is positioned to continue its path to-ward design excellence.

Since the inception of the firm, progres-sive, sustainable, and contextual design has remained at the core of our work. We are interested in creating a dialogue with context - one that informs modern archi-tecture with materials, color, and inspiring

spaces. Our interest lies in producing work with meaning that can best be understood by comprehending its context and understand-ing its culture.

We are not idealists: we are realists. We pursue budgets with the same convictions we pursue design. We pursue business is-sues as well as project issues. All these inform each other. In order to inform, our design process is propelled by a “visioning charrette,” a process unique to archimania. Instead of employing an approach that produces a style, we strive to distill form, scale, and a product that is diverse, yet specific to the client’s wants and needs. We achieve this while developing building techniques and

delivery methods. We produce architec-ture that should be experiential; it must be explored and experienced, rather than solely viewed through a photograph or a line drawing. We appreciate each engage-ment as an opportunity to design.

My lecture at the 2015 AIASC Spring Conference led you through a brief his-tory of Memphis and our region, while helping you better understand the “grit-tiness” of our culture. The lecture helped you understand why and how our archi-tecture has responded to the culture of Memphis and of our region. Our office make-up and the culture within it was described along with why it is important to have collaborators with similar visions. We took a look at many project types, and provided you with insight as to our bud-gets, our difficulties, our clients, and our process in general. You saw the good, the bad, and the ugly with this overview in a lecture format. The lecture was straight-forward and honest in sharing true sto-ries about clients, projects, budgets, design review boards, and historic commissions.

The Interior Architecture Design Award recognizes design excellence by members of AIA SC for projects with a focus on the interior as architecture. Projects may have included those that involve up-fitting new or renovating existing construction.

The Student Design Award recognizes the excellent work by students currently enrolled in an architecture, interior design or urban design program in any academic institution in South Carolina, including Graduate School or 4-year University or College. The category is open to those who have graduated from one of these institutions within the past year. En-trants are sponsored by an AIASC member in good standing.

Named in honor of Charleston-born Robert Mills, the nation’s first native trained architect, the Robert Mills Award was initiated in 2002 to recognize design excellence in residential architecture throughout South Carolina. All entries were executed single-family residential projects designed by registered architects that are members of AIASC in good standing. Projects could have been executed anywhere in the United States or abroad.

The Adaptive Reuse/Renovation Award Category is for built projects which include reha-bilitation or adaptive reuse. This award will recognize the best renovation or addition to a structure that is not intended to be a faithful historic restoration. Eligible projects must be-gin with a pre-existing building, structure, object or site that incorporates an intervention that is clearly intended to compliment or contrast with the original subject building. The submitted project should include either a renovation within an existing building or a new construction that expands the existing structure or site.

The Historic Preservation Award will recognize the best restoration work of a South Carolina property. Eligible projects should involve comprehensive work to restore a historic building, structure, object or site. They should include pure preservation or restoration, adaptive re-use of existing structures whose overall architectural character is maintained, sympathetic additions to historic structures, and replication or reconstruction of damaged or destroyed structures or element thereof. Routine maintenance, such as painting or reroofing, is not considered restoration work for the purposes of this award.

PURPOSE: AIASC has a long tradition of recognizing individuals, organizations, and projects for exemplifying the very best in architecture. The AIA believes that awards programs should be carefully structured so that selection and recognition of honorees serve two distinct purposes: one directed to the profession, and the other, to the public. By focusing attention on activity within the profession, the general quality of architectural practice is elevated. By informing the public on the breadth and value of architectural practice, the entire profession is held in higher esteem. AIASC achieves this purpose by establishing and sponsoring the awards.

Jim is a dedicated student, a distinguished architect, an outstanding teacher, and an inspirational academic leader. He has been a tireless advocate for architecture and planning, elevating the design profes-

sions through his role as President of Clemson University and his pas-sionate argument for ‘good design’. We are delighted to note that upon stepping down from the presidency this month he has re-dedicated him-self to his first calling as Professor of Architecture. He plans to return to the studios of Lee Hall in due time, the place where his life-long devotion to architecture was initiated nearly fifty years ago.

Across the country, the academic world has come to recognize Jim Barker as the ‘architect president’ of Clemson University. He has spo-

ken worldwide about the special quality of the design process as essential to col-legiate leadership. While paying close at-tention to each of the multiple disciplines which constitute the contemporary public research institution, Jim created an atmo-sphere in which all parties were brought to realize the importance of the campus as an extraordinary physical setting in which good design matters and has posi-tive consequences. “We must think of the campus as a garden,” he often said. With his finger on the pulse of the campus master plan, the evolving sense of place has engendered a distinctive learning environment in which best design prac-tices are in evidence not only on the main campus, but also on each of the extended locations in which Clemson engages soci-ety; CU ICAR in Greenville, Sandhill Re-search & Education Center in Columbia, and CURI Campus in Charleston. Jim’s insights have had a strong impact on all levels of design on the Clemson campus-es, from broad land planning issues to the specific type of glass that would enhance the transparency of a new building in the campus context.

In part, his insistence on elevating good design is rooted in the 21st century ideal of environmental compatibility that in-cludes, but goes well beyond, sustainable design. Each campus, under Jim’s guid-ance, has become a platform for the ex-position of green practices, collaborative exchange, and integrated thinking. One of the first college presidents to endorse the nationwide President’s Carbon Neu-tral Initiative, Jim has shown himself to be a strong voice for doing the right thing, often in the face of opposition. As design professionals, we enjoy the direct ben-efits of his advocacy while observing how many indirect yet profound benefits citi-zens across our state have accrued from his efforts. It is difficult to enumerate the myriad changes that have transformed our state’s built environment due, in part, to having a major institution lead the way in offering a fresh view of the world we inhabit.

A glance at Jim’s Curriculum Vitae will show the many attributes and accom-plishments that support his nomination.


He is an architect who led an award-winning practice, an academic who conducted in-depth research in his area of expertise, a mentor to students who became distinguished practitioners and educators in their own right, and an active member and leader of a wide variety of related organizations that are seen as collateral to the AIA, in which he is recognized as a Fellow.

Of particular note is his term as President of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) during which he forged an exceptionally close bond with the AIA at a time when the academy and practice were drifting apart. A little-known accomplishment of his ACSA leadership was the commis-sioning of the report titled Building Community by Ernest Boyer and Lee Mitgang. Known as “the Boyer Report,” the authors focused attention on the importance of understanding our common ground as builders of resilient communities, featuring examples of community-based design studies across the country. This is

21aiasc.org

a natural outgrowth of Jim’s own work on the American Small Town, his leadership in the SC Design Arts Coalition, and his keen interest in societal aspects of urban, small town, and rural design.

A fascinating outcome of Jim’s passion for community-based planning and design is the renewed focus on studio projects and outposts stemming from the Boyer Report that provide much needed design atten-tion to our cities and small towns. Most notable among these outreach programs is Auburn University’s Rural Studio, born of the inspired advocacy of the late Sambo Mockbee, FAIA, who often cited Jim as one of his “life heroes.” Former colleagues at Mississippi State, Sambo and Jim came together on several occasions during Barker’s tenure at Clemson, and Mockbee credits Barker with helping him forge the basic idea of Rural Studio while he served as Distinguished Visiting Critic in Clem-son’s graduate program.

As president of Clemson University, Jim continued to teach. In 2001, together with faculty from the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities, Jim and Lynn Craig created the President’s Seminar, An Inter-disciplinary Study of the Function of Place and Setting. A seminar course grew out of his abiding interest in the importance of human identity in the built environment centered on the idea of “place.” Students came to the course from a wide range of disciplines, attracted by the simple hu-manity of his subject and his style.

Now, after a year-long sabbatical, Jim Barker will return to the studios of Lee Hall to offer his seminar on “place” as well as another seminar on “creativity and leadership,” as he re-engages him-self in the studio environment. It will be a welcome homecoming for our accom-plished colleague, and it is hard to imagine someone who has held such sway on an international stage happily settling in to a professor’s life on campus. Hard to imag-ine, that is, if you are not familiar with the inherent modesty of this extraordinary ar-chitect and humble human being.

WATSON TATE SAVORY

Periodically, the AIA SC Firm Award is offered to a South Carolina firm that “demonstrates design excellence, a significant body of work

over time, and a commitment to community out-reach that elevates the profession.” Conferred seven times previously, it is the highest honor given to a South Carolina firm. Watson Tate Savory became the eighth recipient in 2014.

Accompanying the award presentation was a brief video in which colleagues and clients from across the Carolinas discussed the positive impact WTS has had on the profession of architecture and on the broader community, including a personal note of congratulations from Thomas Phifer, FAIA, designer of recently completed additions to Lee Hall.

In his letter to the AIASC Board of Directors, John Jacques, AIA, offered the following in support of the

firm’s nomination:“I am delighted to nominate Watson Tate Savory

for the AIASC 2014 Firm Award. As a firm and as individual design professionals within the practice, WTS embodies the attributes of excellence, signifi-cance and commitment that are at the heart of the Firm Award.

Michael Watson, AIA, and Sanders Tate, AIA, formed Watson/Tate Architects in 1992 and the two principals invited Tom Savory, AIA, to join their practice when he moved home to Columbia from New York in 1996. In 1999, the firm became Watson Tate Savory. A few years later, Regina Floyd, AIA, a longtime member of WTS, became their fourth prin-cipal. The 15-member practice is based in Columbia and has managed a studio in Charlotte since 2008.

In support of their nomination, Kate Schwennsen,

23aiasc.org

FAIA, Chair of Architecture at Clemson University writes:

‘WTS deserves this recognition for the design excellence they have consistently achieved in a significant body of work, work that has not only had a lasting influence on the practice of archi-tecture in South Carolina but also on the clients and communities they serve.’

DESIGN EXCELLENCEWTS consistently aims for design excellence. The

firm has received thirty-one AIA design awards and a dozen industry awards including seven awards from the Historic Columbia Foundation. While their considerable acumen for campus planning + design has brought their greatest recognition, awards garnered by WTS span a wide range of new buildings, adaptive use and conservation across a range of building types.

WTS has also been recognized with an AIA SAR Honor Award in 2012 for the design of their own office on Washington Street. More than a decade earlier, the firm received an AIASC Honor Award for the design of their previous office space on Lady Street, a project that was nationally and interna-tionally published, demonstrating a consistent ap-preciation for the re-use of existing buildings that contribute to the urban fabric as well as an ever-expanding focus on the dignity of the workplace. Both workplaces are well-fashioned renovations that match innovation in design with innovation in best practices as a firm.

BODY OF WORKThe principals like to extend the discussion of

good design to include the creative and productive process. WTS engages diverse talents and back-grounds in a continuing effort to produce designs that are suited to their particular region, while engaging in the national dialogue. In so doing, the firm continually seeks opportunities to excel through simplification and reduction of form, root-

ed in a specific cultural context. Upon entering their office I feel a pal-

pable sense of the firm-wide attention to client-based aspirations, site sensitivity, and technical prowess. ‘We have a great group of people who come and stay, from fresh out of college into leadership roles … we’re constantly looking to move forward toward our goals,’ says Ginnie Watson, Director of Finance.

All firm members participate in well-structured, inclusive design pin-ups in

which all issues of design, production and construction are critically reviewed on a weekly basis. The rigorous process of design improvement has the added ben-efit of demonstrating the value of every member’s voice in essential matters. ‘Ev-eryone’s ideas and opinions are heard, ev-eryone’s design input is honored, and the best ideas rise to the top,’ offers Senior Associate, John McLean.

On occasion, the entire firm takes time to step aside and check the pulse of its body of work. Let me once again refer to Kate Schwennsen’s observations.

‘In June of 2011, WTS invited Ken Lambla, Dean of the College of Arts + Architecture at UNC Charlotte, and me to review their portfolio of work as part of an internal strategic visioning

process. We had the great pleasure of spending the day being inspired, look-ing at a very impressive body of two decades of architectural work for a wide range of clients, for a very diverse range of program types, in the full range of South Carolina communities. Within this diversity, from historic renovation projects to parking garages to collegiate research centers, we eas-ily identified some consistent themes in the architecture including: Envi-ronmental, cultural and contextual responsiveness; Elegant formal clarity and simplicity; Careful and innovative use of materials and detailing; Con-fident and seemingly effortless plan-ning; and Delightful, daylight- and view-filled interiors.’

SERVICE TO SOCIETYAs they look to the future, all members

of WTS are encouraged to spend time within the community following a broad spectrum of pursuits both directly and indirectly associated with the profession. Senior Associate Gene Bell suggests that ‘our engagements with the profession and within the community arise out of genu-ine, personal interests and are fully sup-ported by the firm as a whole.’

Of particular note are Tom Savory’s activities as founder of and leader within the Columbia Design League, as a fre-quent speaker on a variety of architec-tural issues, and as a studio critic and jury member at nearby schools of architecture including Clemson.

These forays into society, in turn, benefit

WATSON TATE SAVORY CONT.

25aiasc.org

the critical nature of the office and expand the insight of younger members of the firm who have been able to follow his lead within the League and at the schools. Jana Hartens-tine, AIA, an Associate in the Charlotte Of-fice, frequently contributes to these activities and views ‘being a critical architect as being an artist with responsibilities to society.’

Michael Watson’s life-long passion for service to society through the AIA has blos-somed most notably in his rise to AIASC President in 2008-2009. His work on behalf of the profession often had its focus on the necessary but less glamorous committees for which he provided distinguished leadership. Having served on the board with Michael, I can attest to the day-to-day wisdom he im-parted during each meeting and conference.

As mentioned earlier, Ken Lambla par-ticipated in the portfolio review with Kate

Schwennsen and he occasionally serves as a client’s representative on projects with WTS for his campus.

‘Their approach to each project is client and context centered while bringing for-ward the elegance, grace, and comfort of spaces that enhance the occasion. Work-ing with them on several projects at UNC Charlotte, they demonstrate the integrity of design decisions, sensitivity to the complex-ity of site and building, and ability to inte-grate all aspects of project delivery. I have always admired the integrity they bring to a project team and the high standards of the result, no matter what size the project.’

FIRM AWARDFor these and many other reasons, I take

great pleasure in offering my wholehearted support for Watson Tate Savory for the 2014

AIASC Firm Award. Peruse their portfolio or, better yet, spend some time in any of their built works and you’ll be impressed by the attention to design excellence. Visit the office and you will find a lively, critical practice in which all members of the firm participate in the creative spirit of the place. Meet with the firm’s members in any of a wide range of pursuits in the community and you’ll realize their commitment to soci-ety through good design.

These are the attributes and accomplish-ments we wish to promote through the rec-ognition that comes with the Firm Award, and WTS represents everything we hold dear in the practice of architecture.”

THE BOUDREAUX GROUPJOSHUA BUCHER

There are very few in our profession who care as deeply about the relationship of humankind, shel-ter, place and soul as Joshua Bucher does. Rarer still

is finding this depth of care in one of our profession’s youngest. Josh has, one might say, an old soul; yet, he is every bit a young man in love with life and with a passion for having fun while leaving his place a bit better off than it was. Josh is a model intern architect highly deserving of AIASC’s Intern Architect Award. He is a model intern, not strictly because of the value he has brought to our firm or because he holds each of us more accountable to design excellence or because of his commitment to learn-

ing and completing his internship journey. He is a model intern architect because he is also part an-thropologist, artist and advocate.

Josh is engaged in our community as a leader and a doer. Josh knows he must be part of the change he wants to see, to paraphrase Gandhi. As if being an intern architect did not consume most of his time, Josh devotes his time to leading oth-ers to improve our community. Through the AIA Columbia and Historic Columbia Foundation Pal-ladium Society Boards, as a champion for children at AIA Gingerbread Design Competitions and Kids in Architecture programs, Josh is a cool, hip advo-cate for architecture and for our profession. He has brought to life the young professional community through his organization of regular Young Archi-tect’s Forum Happy Hours. Josh gives, humbly and selflessly. Eagle Scout, Boy Scouts of America

We need more Joshes. Anthropologist. Artist. Advocate. Architect. Josh is all of these and more, all of which influence how he contributes to our community and to our profession.

LS3P ASSOCIATES LTD.MATTHEW SANTILLI

During Matthew Santilli’s early internship at our firm, I enjoyed serving as his mentor through the IDP process, seeing him carefully pursue the

whole range of experience that would help him to be-come a well-rounded architect.

Matthew has clearly lived out the characteristics that are outlined in the Awards Program. His leadership in the firm and in the profession have made him a model for other intern architects to emulate. His pursuit of excel-lence in architecture has made him a key team member in award-winning projects. His relationships with clients have engendered a level of trust that allows him to take

on more responsibility than his years would lead you to expect. His service to the profession, to academia, and to the wider com-munity demonstrates a remarkable commitment to the commu-nity, and a remarkable passion for excellence in architecture.

As I thought about the accomplishments of Matthew’s intern-ship years, I could not help feeling a sense of wonder at how he does so much, with such equanimity. He is always willing to take on even more, while still maintaining a steady balance. I am excited to see what the coming years hold for this exemplary intern architect.

PATTERSON HALL RENOVATION

Many key issues needed to be addressed in this renovation: improve the quality of “dorm life”; create a greater sense of community; convert traditional rooms to a suite-style layout; improve life safety and security; update services and finishes while preserving recent mechanical im-

provements; pursue sustainable initiatives; create functional and efficient housing offices; and improve the overall building image while preserving a legacy building. In tandem with each of these critical is-sues, the main design challenge remained to develop a solution to seismically improve the structure to comply with current building codes. 20

As a concrete framed structure with a “soft” first story and un-reinforced inte-rior and exterior masonry walls, this re-quired a substantial and invasive structur-al solution. A previous feasibility study had proposed adding new shear walls to the interior of the building. This solution, however, was at odds with the Universi-ty’s desire to foster a sense of community within their residence halls since these shear walls would essentially segregate entire sections of each resident floor.

LEE HALL ADDITION AT CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

Located on the edge of a college campus facing the blue ridge mountains of upstate South Carolina, this project is an addition to the College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities. The building is carefully sited adjacent to a green belt of open spaces that runs through the center of campus. The

eastern edge of the new addition closely follows the natural formation of a densely wooded ridge. The elevated position of the site affords dramatic views to the surrounding landscape.

An ultra-energy efficient building, the 55,000 sf addition was conceived to accommodate the expand-ing needs of the college which includes twelve professional degree programs in the four departments of Art, Architecture, Construction Science + Management, and Planning + Landscape Architecture. We discovered early in the design process that all of these programs form a close knit community with a rich culture of collaboration.

35aiasc.org

To cultivate this sense of community within the new addition, design studios, faculty offices, and classrooms within the different degree programs are inter-mingled in an open plan to generate an environment for “cross pollination” be-tween programs and disciplines through adjacency, allowing students to learn from other students and faculty though infor-mal creative exchanges. Proximity and transparency are supported with carefully detailed glazing between interior program elements which produces dynamic visual connections thought the facility.

PARKS AND RECREATION ADMINISTRATION BUILDING

This Parks and Recreation Administration Building accommodates both administrative and com-munity functions while remaining sensitive to its natural site in a wooded city park. The facility’s siting, coupled with a carefully selected palette of materials, offers a respectful insertion in the

natural setting, while the rigor of its plan defines the new structure as a deliberate counterpoint to its surroundings.

The careful insertion of this new Parks & Recreation Administration Building into a wooded site es-tablishes a forward-looking identity for the Department, while remaining “gentle with the land”. In addition to new Departmental offices, the building also successfully addresses an ever-growing need for community meeting space that is welcoming and engaging, and strategically connects these spaces to the surrounding park.

37aiasc.org

Nestled among mature trees on a bluff over-looking the park, the building is comprised of two parts – one public, one private. A breezeway con-nects the two structures to create a small campus of approximately 10,000 square feet. A small pub-lic plaza intersects the breezeway and connects to existing parking and ball fields to the north, disc golf to the west, and tennis courts to the south.

PALMETTO COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE

Palmetto Collegiate Institute, this historic town’s second private school, was built in 1881; the old schoolhouse, which served grades one through nine, and had a boarding option in a now-demol-ished dormitory, has a grand porch that wraps around three sides of the edifice giving the building

an Italianate quality, which research indicates may be unique in America for buildings of this age and type. Another distinguished feature of the school is the Romanesque arched doorway, located at the northern entrance. Palmetto Collegiate Institute closed in 1911 and passed into private hands, where it served as a residence for various Lexington families. In 2001 the Town of Lexington purchased the home, most recently known as the Roof House, and considered creating more parking for the Town Hall.

This vintage one-room schoolhouse has been brought back to public prominence and community use by conversion of the building and grounds into a meeting/reception facility. The architects played a number of

39aiasc.org

roles to facilitate public participation in mak-ing this a project at all and then nursed it though to completion. While keeping some of the early 20th-century spaces subdivided within the original 19th-century open space, the architects for the most part returned to earliest known photos to recreate the origi-nal cupola, now a functioning light moni-tor adding daylight into interior spaces and shining forth as a lantern at night.

While a project in its completed state may look simple, often the hats worn by the designers of those projects are many

and varied. Before this particular adap-tive re-use exercise even became a project, the town’s Mayor and a Councilwoman approached the architects and asked if a member of the firm would chair a citi-zen’s task force to generate public interest in saving an old, overgrown schoolhouse which had most recently been used as a residence. Further, the group was to figure out how the building could best be used by the community, to help with fundraising, and then, of course, to produce the normal design work for the renovation itself.

PEACE CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS ADDITIONS AND RENOVATIONS

This urban project involved the complete re-design of the overall campus, along with the design of expanded lobbies and a patron lounge with dining capabilities. The project site resides at the inter-section of two primary downtown streets and a bisecting river. As described by one stakeholder,

these renovations “should facilitate a paradigm shift for the twenty-year-old theater campus to ensure the Center’s overall design offers the most extraordinary cultural experience possible for both patrons and visitors alike.” The focus areas include: improved circulation and accessibility, improved merchandise and ticket areas, a new outdoor performance pavilion and exterior public elevator, a new Patron Lounge, and expanded public lobbies overlooking a new Main Street plaza and Reedy River venue.

The Performing Arts Center began its existence twenty years ago on a Main Street corridor with boarded storefronts, a kudzu-laced creek and a downtown with seemingly little promise. The Client’s

41aiasc.org

initial investment would result in an Arts Center comprised of two significant theater buildings and an adjacent artist and staff support space. The new complex set in motion a development renaissance that has seen a lauded, vibrant downtown and adjacent award-winning urban park flourish over the last decade. The surrounding urban development and growth was so significant, the facility found itself segregated from the very down-town fabric it had inspired to develop.

Now, twenty years later, the Performing Arts Center has embarked on its own redevel-opment program, having recognized its own potential for establishing the vital connection between the thriving downtown, the newly developed riverfront park and the mixed-use/arts district to the west.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE

The residence embodies its narrow barrier island’s inclination to protect while hovering between Gulf and Sound, and finds its place among lush vegetation as a vehicle for light, passage, and retreat between the expansive Gulf of Mexico and the contained Charlotte Sound. The architecture blurs

the boundaries between inside and out, creating an experience of layers in which one finds refuge, always veiled in awareness of the surrounding ocean, sound, sand, breezes, and sun.

Located on a barrier island on the west coast of Florida, this residence links vistas of the Charlotte Sound and the Gulf of Mexico by way of the axial pool. Conceived as an elevated oasis, the pool is bordered on the north and south with verdant planters, and beyond, by porch-like living spaces offering

respite from the intensity of the sun. The visual connection to the water continues beneath the house as one makes their way to the beach; treading on the elevated walk and beneath the filtered light passing through the windows at the bottom of the pool above.

DANIEL ISLAND RESIDENCE

This house, situated on the 5th green of the Ralston Creek course in Daniel Island Park, exemplifies the low country style with its exposed rafter tails, architectural brackets, and metal roof. With just over 3,100 square feet,

this house features plenty of comfortable, spacious living spaces. The kitchen opens to a sunroom as well as a generously sized living room, all with views of the golf course beyond. The second floor features 2 guest bedrooms and baths, as well as the master suite overlooking the golf course. Two-story rear porches were incorporated into the designed to take advantage of the views. Additionally the screen porch was designed to the side of the house to direct views out to the green as well as allow light into the center of the house.

The clients came to us approximately three years ago wanting a house that took advantage of the golf course views and was designed in the cottage style that they knew they liked. Another quality that was exceptionally important to them was natural light; they didn’t want to miss any opportunities for it.

Located in a golf community planned by the Olmstead brothers in the early 20th century, the program for this facility calls for a Central Service Center for Yeamans Hall Plantation. The Service Center houses the finance office,

all laundry service and bulk dry and refrigerated storage for the kitchen that sup-ports the Club House. It also provides storage for seasonal items, and is the drop-off location for bulk product and UPS/FedEx deliveries for the 30+ residence that reside in this pristine neighborhood.

The building’s massing is broken so to respond to context, allow more flex-ibility for siting amongst the oaks and to better service vehicular access. The volumes are simply stated with an exterior “ribbing” that relates to its early 20th century neighbors.

Construction is wood framing, wood trusses, with painted exterior “ribbed” wood paneling. The roof is standing seam metal. Paving for vehicular circulation was not allowed by the covenants of the development.

This softball stadium for a major university sets a new standard for wom-en’s facilities nationwide. Balancing a sense of grandness with a feeling of intimacy, the fan experience and athlete experience are both bolstered

by a full arsenal of amenities that attract and inspire top student athletes. The latest addition to the University’s “Athletic Village”, this stadium shares an ad-dress with a variety of other sports venues and academic support facilities. The stadium maintains the Village’s character through the strategic use of materials and complementary scale.

The new softball complex is a significant addition off the pedestrian spine link-ing major facilities within the Athletic Village. The new entry sequence for the stadium extends this spine, welcoming visitors onto the upper concourse with a panoramic view of the field before descending to their seats. The concourse boasts the full complement of conveniences – concessions, restrooms, and areas to socialize while watching the game. Clear visibility from the concourse simpli-fies navigation and provides excellent sight lines to the ball field from all angles.

This Urban Intervention introduces new ways to interact with the environ-ment. The pavilion collects water; stores electricity; provides shelter from flash rain storms; and creates a stage for public functions. Generators and

batteries, attached to each rental bike, create and store electricity for the park. The landscape features include water tanks, public bike racks, park benches, and people watching perches. The interactive lights system consists of a series of LED lights and fiber optic sticks that are activated when bumped, lighting up brighter for several seconds before fading back to a soft glow. As people interact with the lights, they notice some of them lighting up a different color; the pieces of a puzzle or game are revealed with heightened interaction.

The North American Headquarters of an International Cookware Company offered the opportunity for a complete interior renovation of an existing structure in

very poor condition, where zoning restrictions prevented re-building. The rotted existing structure exhausted the majority of the Owner’s budget designated for the renovation, leaving a fraction of the original design budget to enhance the space. With the beautiful marshlands providing the backdrop for the project, it was imperative for the interior architecture to not

only exhibit the Client’s brand but also capture the surround-ing environment. In essence, the design team was employed with creating a space to enhance the brand and brand experi-ence with a rotting existing structure and a depleted budget.

The Client desired a new headquarters building to house the growing staff and feature their contemporary brand. The program consisted of open and enclosed offices, conference fa-cilities, teaching/demonstration kitchen, fitness center for the staff and an exterior entertainment area.

Two major design concepts guided the decision making process; incorporating the Owner’s sleek, contemporary and brightly colored products, and stimulating all five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. The result was a visually stunning and stimulating space that exceeded the Owner’s expectations not only in creating a vehicle to showcase their products, but in providing a comfortable and efficient work space that has increased employee morale and retention.

Elevated architectural planters were designed at the new exterior entrance and planted with a variety of herbs that produce a wonderful aroma as you enter the facility. This provides a “home garden” that is used in the delectable dishes pre-pared in the Demonstration Kitchen (smell/taste). In the Demonstration Kitch-en, ceiling-to-floor polished lacquered wall panels pay homage to their original enameled color of their product called “flame”. A view of the tranquil marsh from every room was another goal. Transparent glass walls replaced solid walls when enclosed spaces were required for program purposes. The open offices were strategically programmed with unobstructed views of the marsh (sight). Oper-able windows were installed bringing the salt marsh smells and sounds into the facility when opened, giving it a sense of place (smell/sound). Marsh grasses em-bedded into illuminated resin panels, further create the connection to the marsh (touch). These were designed as a backdrop in the lineal product display in the lobby to showcase the Company’s new product releases.

The architect was commissioned to design a new temporary facility for a prominent civic organization. The leadership wanted the design to look towards the twenty-first century with a strong emphasis on technology.

The design team was faced with a variety of challenges including a heightened fast track schedule, a limited budget and an existing building that created unique infrastructure issues. The architect’s dynamic solution was created by using in-expensive materials in creative ways, while introducing practical design solu-tions that saved on labor costs while offering an environmentally sustainable approach.

Technology was a central concept as the Client desired a new space that would guide the company towards the twenty-first century while leveraging their his-torical past. The program called for several public spaces: lobby, corridors, mem-bership conference room, and board rooms, as well as private spaces: small meet-ing spaces, enclosed and open offices for management and staff, and ancillary staff spaces.

SEA HORSE BEACH HOUSE

“Seahorse” was designed with the intent of providing a comfortable place for family and friends to gather and enjoy the South Carolina coast. Positioned on a sliver of property adjacent to the ocean, the house was designed to maximize views to the East, while shielding the hot sun to

the West. With a program that called for 8 bedrooms and large spaces to gather, creating a building that did not resemble a “big box” was a challenge. To avoid this problem, the architect employed the use of a hip roof with broad overhangs and a compound pitch. While creating a distinctive character and reducing the scale of the large home, the expansive overhangs of the white metal roof also reflect, and shade the house from the sun. In keeping with materials and details familiar to coastal South Carolina, the rafter tails are exposed and the simple mass of the building is clad in board and batten siding and accented with louvered shutters. Vertical picket handrails on the street side of the house are replaced by stainless cable rails along the ocean side where views are precious.

55aiasc.org

The interior spaces are arranged such that upon entering one has an immediate view to the ocean. The wide hall and warm whitewashed paneling draw visitors into the heart of the house. The large living and dining areas, and kitchen are all open to one another and to views of the pool and ocean beyond. Deep porches provide spaces for enjoying the ocean breezes and relaxing in the shade. Service areas and a guest bedroom are bunkered into the west side of the house. The upper levels are comprised of sleeping quarters and baths, and a secondary gathering area.

To foster the connection between indoors and out, the architect manipulated the grade around the elevated house so that the pool is raised to a mid-level. Continuous stairs along the East edge of the porch prevent the need for enclosure and allow the covered porch and open pool deck to flow together. Meanwhile, the natural grade on the street side of the house is maintained to allow for ample parking beneath.

EAST BAY COTTAGES

If one cottage on the lake is good, then two mirror image cottages on the lake is even better for a multi-generational extended family.

The family wanted to build a residential compound on the lake that would accommodate the various configurations of the extended family that gather on the lake each summer. The solution was two identical mirror image cottages. Each cottage has a large “great room”, and five bedroom suites. To accommodate the different family groups, and generations, four of the five bedroom suites in each cottage have direct outside access. For those who want more privacy, each house has one bedroom suite that is completely detached, and fondly referred to as “The Bunky”.

The cottages have been designed to be environmentally efficient, and have received LEED for Homes Platinum Certification. The building envelope con-sists of a structural system that is post & beam timber frame with SIPS panels for the roof and exterior walls, and high efficiency windows. The heating and air conditioning is provided by a ground source heat pump system, and electricity is provided by a photovoltaic solar array that is remotely located. The timber frame structure is fully exposed on the interior, and all interior finishes are also natu-rally finished wood. The vocabulary of exterior materials, consisting of stone, asphalt roof shingles, and painted clapboard siding was selected for compatibility with other cottages and buildings on the greater property. Golf carts are used to access the cottages from the remotely located automobile parking area.

PIEDMONT TECHNICAL COLLEGE - NEWBERRY CAMPUS RENOVATION

This adaptive re-use project along a busy commercial strip reclaimed a 72,500 SF vacant “big-box” store, providing expanded educational opportunities and revitalizing a prominent site. The key design challenge was to completely eliminate the “big box” image and create a distinct exterior

design expressing the technology focus of the institution. The client required flexible office, classroom, lecture, and lab space for the technical college’s continuing education program provided within the ex-isting structure, which was set back considerably from the main road by an expansive parking lot. The design included significant site interventions to encourage pedestrian activity and engage the community, and included sustainability measures targeted to LEED-NC® certification.

The new design transformed the interior of the space with 20 large skylights incorporated into the new roof, allowing maximum daylighting in the main lobby and throughout the building. Each skylight accen-tuates a significant hall intersection node to aid in way-finding, and the expansive entry lobby showcases

new technology for continuing education programs. The team placed great impor-tance on transparency and solar screening to create an open interior without western solar glare and heat gain. A large perfo-rated stainless steel screen wall shades the front classroom areas, creating an enclosed courtyard adjacent to the student lounge. Exposed structural joists maximize interior open space while enhancing a technologi-cal expression. The finished space includes administration offices, classrooms, health-care training labs, biology, and veterinarian technical training areas, including surgery suite and exterior kennels.

This is a renovation with additions to an existing municipal community center built in the 1970’s. Additions consist of 15,000 sq.ft. incorporating a new gym, vestibule, toilets and administration areas with cosmetic renovations to the existing 23,500 sq.ft. facility, establishing a new facility

identity for the community.Due to the residential expansion of the 2000’s, this municipality had outgrown its existing Community

Center/Recreation Complex. The existing structure was dated architecturally and incorporated interior spaces with harsh finishes and little or no natural light. The renovation and expansion of the existing facility was further complicated since it had to remain open during the new construction, as it was the only municipal gym/meeting space available to the community.

The new additions were positioned to configure a drop-off in the existing parking areas while acting as a mask to the old building and providing an internal connection between the new and old gyms, while

providing for pedestrian flow to the exterior courtyard, tennis courts and playfields to the rear. A new entry vestibule acts as the center axis for the connection to the old facility and the new administrative wing to the left and the new gym, and toilets to the right. The new administrative wing exteriors are wrapped in glass curtainwall so that staff always has a view to the exterior, allowing the monitoring of pedestrian traffic into and out of the facility. A new walkway cover adjoins this wing and provides shade and a weather shield to both the sidewalk leading to the main entry and these new offices, while connecting to the existing parking lot beyond and adjoining new drop-off. This new covered structure shields the adjoining administrative office glazing thus reducing HVAC loads while visu-ally establishing a strong visual connection between the parking area and front door of the facility.

The design team proposed moving the shear walls outside of the building by constructing four new towers, one on each side of the building, that would be braced back to the structure and provide the needed lateral support.

This solution sped up construction since the towers could begin while demoli-tion was taking place. The non-code compliant stairs and antiquated elevators could now be removed and re-built in these new towers, freeing up the core of the building to be used for new suite-style resident rooms. The additional square footage then could be used for much-needed community space on each floor to increase social interaction among students. And these new towers would provide an updated image to a building that students previously described as “sad” and “jail-like.”

Built in 1871 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, this project restored one of the City’s best examples of an intact French-Victorian structure.

Working with local, state and federal historical groups, the design team capitalized on the amount of original intact ar-chitecture to help guide the restoration and renovation of this Main Street icon. On the exterior, original cast iron columns and balcony details were restored, existing historic lime stuc-co was sounded and repaired, and existing historic windows

were restored. Inside original fireplaces and mantles as well as doors with original hardware compliment modern day of-fices.

This unique building had previously been used as a grocery store, saloon, boarding house, and restaurants. While most of the original first floor had been altered beyond repair, the sec-ond floor was mainly intact - one of few remaining examples in the City.

We solved the programmatic issues with a small addition to the second floor and enclosing an existing rear porch. By recreating the double front porches we returned the house to its original form.

Housed in an 1892 National Register former cotton mill, this project adds a planetarium, an ob-servatory and a 4D theater to a state museum, while simultaneously simplifying circulation to enhance visitor experience. Throughout the design process, the architects coordinated closely

with the South Carolina Department of Archives & History to maintain and, in many cases, improve the integrity of the historic structure. Two monumental additions, the new entry and the planetarium enclosure, lightly engage the original building, in counterpoint to the historic, heavy masonry. New interior elements reintroduce the building’s industrial-textile history, utilizing woven mesh panels and industrial detailing.

A 1980’s renovation of this historic cotton mill provided homes for both the state department of reve-nue and the state museum, with entries to each off a common lobby. While an acrylic-roofed space frame 20

marked the main lobby entry, individual entries to both tenant spaces were unceremoni-ous and confusing to first-time visitors. With the relocation of the department of revenue, the opportunity arose for the museum to expand and claim the “front door” creating a new entry, centered on the south-facing front façade.

Working with a team of specialty consultants, including experience & exhibit and digi-tal theater designers, the architects explored several early concepts, vetting each with the state historic preservation office. Primary to each concept was the placement of five pro-gram components: a 200-seat capacity planetarium; a 25-seat capacity 4-D theater; an observatory and collection of rare telescopes; and relocation of the gift shop. One early concept proposed designing all new components as additions, while another proposed re-moving existing floors and placing new components as free-standing forms within the empty volume. The final concept takes a more restrained approach, repurposing existing spaces, uncovering and rehabilitating original interiors at the ground level, and expanding lightly, in deference to the historic façade.

FLORENCE FIELD MAINTENANCE SHOP PHASE I

In 2012, the Owner transformed a vacant field into a state of the art military maintenance campus which includes a field maintenance shop, wash building, diesel fueling station and loading dock. Three separate field maintenance units were combined into this well-composed facility to provide services for

vehicles including Humvees, HEMTTs and construction equipment in a utilitarian yet ruggedly attrac-tive building.

The program includes military vehicle parking for Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT), High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee), and multiple heavy wheeled and track vehicles excluding tanks. Other program elements include: privately owned vehicle parking, a field maintenance shop (FMS) building, wash building, loading dock, and diesel fueling station. The main-20

tenance building and military parking were designed to accommodate the anticipated growth over the next 20 years. Key sustain-able items include a geothermal heat pump system, use of high recycled content materi-als throughout, daylight in all occupied spac-es including the large work bays, and on-site storm water detention.

The field maintenance shop consists of several industrial areas including the main-tenance bays, tool storage, parts storage, bat-tery room, mechanical room, electrical room and oil/lube/transmission fluid storage. The office spaces include an open office area, pri-vate offices, break room, and locker rooms with showers and toilets. The industrial na-ture of the building and rugged vehicle work that occurs in and around the shop served as inspiration for the design.

CITY OF CHARLESTON FIRE STATION NO. 9

Replacing an existing outdated fire station in downtown Charleston, SC, this new station serves as both a fire station and departmental headquarters. The existing fire station had been condemned due to mold and mildew issues and the firefighters were operating out of a temporary facility. The

project included remediation of contaminated soils and the demolition of the existing facility. The station is located on a small industrial site in an upper area of the Charleston peninsula which is currently expe-riencing a developmental boom. In a city where historical architecture is often the norm, this industrial section of the city presented the opportunity for a more contemporary design than what is typically seen in downtown Charleston. The exterior pays homage to past fire stations of the city with its brick masonry walls, but also lends to more contemporary design with its use of insulated metal panels and exposed steel frame/louver system.

The plan of the new 19,500 sq.-ft fire station serves as home to Engine Com-pany E109’s two apparatus, as well as the new headquarters for the department and a Hazmat/Special Operations unit. The massing of the building was manipulated to create a station that is placed on the cor-ner of site with a central lobby/circulation core that divides the building into two dis-tinct sides on both the ground and second floors. First and second floor areas to the West of the central lobby house the fire station itself (private functions) includ-ing a 2-bay ground level with traditional fire station above. Spaces to north of the central lobby on the ground floor contain the Special Operations vehicle bays and storage areas. The northern wing of the second floor is laid out for more public functions such as departmental offices and a flexible training/community room.

CITY OF COLUMBIA WATER DISTRIBUTION AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITY

This project converts an abandoned automobile dealership to offices and warehouses for a municipal water division. A rigorous process of simplifying and separating diverse program components allowed for logical reuse of existing structures. The office building, a sustainably-designed glass

prism under a vegetated roof, exaggerates the extraverted spirit of the original showroom, bathing occu-pants in daylight. New materials and details on the pre-engineered warehouses visually separate planes, expressing low-sloped roofs as floating undulations, referencing the sloping site. Site improvements in-clude reuse of existing asphalt, introduction of pervious paving, xeriscaping and rain gardens. The project was designed to LEED Gold level.

77aiasc.org

This project has been designed to house all Water and Wastewa-ter Management administration, crews, technicians, vehicle fleet, and emergency equipment and materials for a capitol city. Cur-rently all staff and crew occupy a former, windowless “big box” chain store, in a circuitous, disorganized array of offices and ran-dom spaces. At the start of the project, therefore, optimal adjacen-cies and distribution of personnel and resources were quite unclear to both client and architect. Through a rigorous programming ef-fort, project requirements became simplified, and a clear picture emerged for how to best utilize the separate existing structures and organize the new site.

CORE HOUSE

Based on the one room wide vernacular architecture of Charleston, this contemporary adaptation of the historic single house taps into the environmental and social precedents of its neighbors. It’s deep porches on the southern façade shad it from powerful summer sun and give the homeowners

generous outdoor space not always found in an urban dwelling. Its vertical screening devices pivot, slide, and lock into place to not only provide shade and security, but also protection form and tropical weather that may strike Charleston in the future. Its out building uses similar architectural language while con-taining a studio/garage and living space

The street façade’s proportions relate to its historic neighbors while providing a con-temporary and weathering facade that will grow and age with time. The two story kitchen volume is designed to maximize natural ventilation throughout the home, while provid-ing light into the interior spaces. The majority of the exterior walls on the southern façade are operable glazed openings to skew the boundary between the interior and exterior of the home maximizing the perceived space inside the 2400 sf home. The home’s garage/studio also utilizes a green roof, skylights, and large operable glazed walls to minimize lighting and HVAC needs.

ST. HELENA LIBRARY AT PENN CENTER

This library is a vibrant 21st century gathering place. Yet the simple forms defer to its culturally rich setting. Before design began, community workshops probed the depths of Gullah-Geechee and Sea Island culture, so the building could make subtle and sincere references to a unique people and

place. Like the Islands, the building reveals itself slowly. The pavilion structure reminds of the live oaks that once sheltered school children. The woven nautilus of the special collections area is the heart of the library and suggests the forms of marine life and traditional net making. A raised wood “stomping” floor in the community room provides the percussion for spirituals.

The branch serves the rural northern portion of Beaufort County, principally St. Helena Island, SC and is contiguous to the National Historic Landmark campus of Penn Center. The design of the building is modern, yet warm and reflects the unique attributes of Gullah-Geechee and Sea Island culture and the vibrancy of the library as a 21st Century gathering place.

81aiasc.org

Sustaining the local culture and traditions was imperative in this de-sign effort. Prior to design, community workshops were held at Penn Center, probing the depths of the Gullah-Geechee and Sea Island culture, so the design could make subtle and sincere references to a unique people and place. In response, the building was designed to utilize simple forms and construction methods in order to afford the iconic features that sym-bolize the shared values of the library and St. Helena community. Like the Islands, the building reveals itself slowly. The plan is simple in orga-nization of program functions - “support bars” housing operations and administration embrace the main reading and collections room. Meeting rooms are immediately available off the main entry, allowing use of these spaces in the evening independent of library operation.

A HOME - GREENVILLE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

Who defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, the proposed design guideline is developed base on this to create a healthy group home for seniors in Green-ville.: Natural centric, Private & Public separation, Simplified form driving simplified process

economically. It is challenging to ensure that the setting has some sort of privacy for each individual but also carries public indoor spaces for social interaction where they could physically, visually, verbally contact to others not to feel isolated in the community. Nature as in plants and water feature is the main design tool to be used with a lot of facilities provided in the master plan to make a group home homes.

With a shape of just a box, HOME could be located in different sites; however, a farm garden is al-ways a must to assemble next to HOME to create external view for the living room. Eight HOMEs with

83aiasc.org

an ability to shelter 64 seniors are located surrounding the lake on the site on Cedar Lane road in Greenville. There are a lot of facilities provided including gardening, restaurant, clinic, recreation center, and day care center to adapt the needs of peo-ple who live within the setting to enhance their health from all aspects. All HOMEs have to be accessible from the ring road; however, they cannot be too close in term of privacy and acoustic.

Improving a physical, mental and social health for the elderly is the goal of the project. With all the proposed ar-chitectural elements and programs, I wish to make a group home a HOME where seniors really want to be to enjoy the last stage of their life more meaningful.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE

The home, known by the Owners as “The Bunkhouse,” is an informal arrangement of affiliated parts around an open, level site. The single story plan components consist of the family residence, a Guest House and Carport/Storage shelter. The program driven interaction among the parts creates

an irregular shaped courtyard. This impounded space is ringed by a timber trellis, defining a connection among the plan pieces and visually marking the spatial boundary between the loose nature of the site and refined treatment of the courtyard.

The Owners are a family of five living full time in New England. The residence is a getaway desti-nation specifically seen as an informal place where the emphasis is on relaxation and reconnecting to nature. They expressed a desire to create a “camp-like” atmosphere, recalling a traditional compound of rustic cabins and assembly buildings. The home site is located within a wooded clearing and fronts onto a freshwater lagoon.

85aiasc.org

The single story solution was a program requirement from the family’s desire to be together with all members on one floor level. Attenuating the plan allowed the public and private spaces to be easily delineated and understood. The more private office and bed-room wing bookend the public common areas. Getting away within the home is as easily accomplished as getting together, but separation is by doors, not floors.

As the plan configuration developed, the resulting interior courtyard took on a special role. The children of the family are still young and the parents wanted a supervised out-door play area that was secure and connected to the main interior living areas. The result: an active area within the confines of the plan, but_ outside the confines of the home. As the children grow, the courtyard will become a more introspective, passive space.

PRIVATE RESIDENCE

A remote observatory, the architecture of this private residence mediates between the tidal marsh to the north and the brackish pond to the south and west. The peninsula is accessed down a long drive, encroached on

either side by indigenous planting to naturally blend with the existing landscape. Grounding vertical elements of the structure gradually reveal themselves behind the live oaks, the roots of which helped preserve the dunes as land between the maritime environments. The drive penetrates the main facade via the porte-co-chere, a threshold to the motor court, which is enclosed on three sides. The fourth side is left open as a framing element to the pond as seen from the elevated main living spaces and connecting gallery. The pond, a delineated body of water, is the framed view on two sides while large expanses of glass offer uninterrupted panoramic vistas of the long marsh edge of the Kiawah River. A linear lap pool connects the main home to the guest lodge visually yet a winding boardwalk is the physical journey between the two. That boardwalk continues past the guest lodge into the landscape, offering views back to the house and terminates where nothing but nature is seen. The second floor offers guest rooms that either view or open directly to the green roof. The green roof is the main observation deck for the home in its quest to engage nature. It is planted with natural vegeta-tion and ornamented with driftwood to directly reflect its surrounding marsh environment. The comforts of the residence are contrasted with the turbulent and shifting nature of the environment in which it is set offering a better under-standing of nature and ones role within it.

87aiasc.org

This residence is a former rice plantation located at the intersection of the Black and Great Pee Dee Rivers in Georgetown County. Today, few struc-tures remain from the rice growing era except a pair of chimneys belong-

ing to the former, antebellum plantation house, and an overseer’s cottage, which became the basis for this project. The program for the residence involved reno-vating the original main part of the Cottage, and new, flanking wings, connected by small hyphens, include an Owners Suite with Master Bedroom and Bath. A new kitchen/dining wing with a sitting area, and screened porch were added on the north side of the house.

CHURCH OF THE APOSTLES

After years of meeting on Sundays in the SC state museum, the Church of the Apostles purchased a vacant Baptist church in downtown Columbia. The architects were presented with the challenge of transforming the sixties era glue laminated arch structure to meet the needs of the parish,

which included: a worship space, a parish hall, Christian education space, administrative area, and on-site parking. In addition to being tasked with meeting these programmatic requirements, the architects were constrained by a compact, and oddly shaped site, a tight budget, and unattractive existing building.

The Architect met the programmatic and physical challenges of the project through a large scale reno-vation and addition. The existing sanctuary and the education space below it were renovated, a parish hall and administrative area were added along the West (Bull St) side of the building (the parish hall provid-ing a gathering space for before and after worship- a practice the parishioners adopted while meeting

89aiasc.org

in the museum). The additions presented the opportunity to not only transform the interior space by adding transepts to the sanctuary, but the new crossing gable forms also helped to reinvent the exterior character of the build-ing. The new and existing brick veneers were painted to seamlessly blend together, the win-dows were replaced, and subtle brick detailing and texture was added to the gable ends and new tower marking the entry.

The owner of a locally-owned financial services firm sought the adaptive reuse of this mid-twentieth century “International Style” structure to accommo-date the growth of her business. The rehabilitation of this former retail/ware-

housing structure takes advantage of its “good bones” – solid brick exterior, mature landscaping, and handsome front façade proportions – while providing interventions within the architecture to optimize the space as a modern office environment focused on collaboration and service. These interventions include clerestory and fenestration for improved daylighting, an opening of the floor plan to allow a variety of public and private zones, and a contemporary take on period furnishings.

CITY OF COLUMBIA CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS RENOVATION

The Columbia City Hall (Former United States Court House and Post Office) was designed by Al-fred B. Mullet in 1870. Construction of the building was completed in 1874 and was subsequently placed on the National Register of Historic Places Inventory in 1973. This building has undergone

numerous renovations in the past; the most recent being the City Council Chambers Historic Renovation completed in September of 2013.

Located on the third floor of City Hall, the council chambers were originally a courtroom and the focal point of the entire building. The renovation began as a project to repair the historic plaster and paint. When City staff removed an existing acoustical ceiling tile system and revealed the original chamber skylight, City Management and City Council agreed that the project scope should be increased. The final scope of the renovation work included historic plaster repair, painting, lighting, a new audio visual sys-tem, and restoration of the previously hidden skylight.

The original cast iron skylight, thought to be lost to time, was re-discovered in 2012. The impressive

95aiasc.org

feature was originally outlined with exqui-site ceiling decoration. The ceiling decora-tion had been lost over the years but the re-mainder of the interior structure remained. The skylight and its interior cast iron grille were completely removed, restored and re-placed. A new period-appropriate chandelier was installed at the center point of the grille.
