Burroughs School and McCown AuditorumConway, South Carolina

The goal for this project was to adapt the 1905 Burroughs School, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the 1926 McCown Auditorium, for a natural and cultural history museum as important parts of Horry County’s heritage. Our team created exhibit galleries to engage visitors as well as to restore the schoolhouse atmosphere. The pattern of galleries followed the same plan as the original classrooms.

Georgia Southern University Statesboro, Georgia

A.I.A. Award For Excellence in Architecture –South Georgia Chapter The store site lies between the main street dining hall/post office and the student union. Linkage to those facilities is reinforced by the building shape and plaza edged by “sitting steps.” Repetitive building corners allow extensive glass for displays on the interior and exterior. The interior sales area under staggered roofs is conceived as a “market hall” with a light-filled open space visually extended by a north-facing glass curtain wall. The merchandising design includes three 18-foot high display towers, two 20-foot high display scaffolds at the curtain wall, and triangular graphic banners.

United States Post Office

South Side Branch Savannah, Georgia

Fronting a major thoroughfare, the facility incorporates strong, simple building forms to present a clear identity to motorists traveling at higher speeds. The front elevation is the result of multiple concept design studies. The arched entry opening and wide diameter columns imply a civic image. A recessed exterior lobby wall creates a colonnaded, covered walkway for use in inclement weather and provides shading for window openings. Wall coverings in the lobby repeat the exterior arch motif. Accent colors are used in the quarry tile floors and counter tops. The customer service area is open during working hours and secured from the general lobby by glass doors after closing.

New Sanctuary and

Sunday School Addition

Skidaway Island, Georgia

A new sanctuary with seating for 600 is the focus of the master plan for the 7.5 acre campus. It is connected to the existing fellowship hall by an enclosed walkway which serves as a second entry to both buildings from an expanded parking lot. The Sunday School addition, with classrooms on two floors, choir room and support facilities, connects to the existing administration building. Resulting open spaces between existing and new structures are developed into courtyards, allowing outdoor gatherings and receptions. The interior is formal to provide a sense of dignity and solemnity. Chandeliers and all chancel furnishings, rails, and screens were designed by the architect.

Savannah, Georgia

The Telfair mansion, designed by English architect William Jay and built in 1818, received a major addition in 1886, when it became the first art museum in the southeast. Projects for this National Historic Landmark are part of an ongoing process.

Laboratory analysis of the twelve layers of paint covering the exterior stucco and wood revealed color schemes from the two construction periods. Design documents focused on cleaning all exterior finishes, shown in progress at the right, as well as restoration of stonework, 1818 and 1886 stucco, woodwork, metalwork and painting, using a special breathable masonry coating in the 1886 color scheme.

Dobbins Air Force Base

Marietta, Georgia

Awards:

Citation - Eastern Region, USAF Regional Civil Engineer

Serving as both a conference center for the Air Force Base and an operations building for a flying transport squadron, the facility is located on a prominent site visible from a major city parkway. The building placement recognizes both the highly visible “public side” and a “base side” which provides acoustical screening from nearby runways. The building is clad in insulated, anodized aluminum panels anchored to a structural steel frame. Exterior forms reflect many of the interior uses. The drum contains the briefing room, while the accentuated rectangle near the drum is the squadron lounge. The triangular spine allows natural light in the corridor.
