he Jefferson Parish Public School Administration Building in
Gretna, Louisiana, near completion, was destroyed by Hurri-
cane Katrina in 2005 and the school board has met in a temporary
facility since. The new building replaces the old on the same site.
The new facility is 94,000 square feet including a new school board
meeting room and professional development center. The new
building is constructed with steel, glass and masonry.

Working closely with the structural engineer I designed the steel
framework for the curved masonry porch entry and the Board
Conference Room with its hanging wall. See study models above
and photos at left. The new Board Conference Room presented
a design challenge. The client desired the flexibility to divide the
space into separate rooms for smaller meetings. Designing a
hanging wall with folding accordion partitions answered this challenge. I used SketchUp to help the client visualize the exterior of
the building as well as key spaces within.

ear the beginning of 2009 I was out of work for a brief period. While looking for another employment opportunity I decided to enter an architectural competition to design a beach house in the Bahamas. This
project was completed in one month and gave me an opportunity to retain my design and modeling edge.
This schematic design was created with conceptual sketches and AutoCAD. Modeling was done with 3D Max.
The final layout was created with Photoshop and InDesign software.
This is an 8,000 square foot beach house for a multi-generational family. The design was inspired by the Conch
shell found abundantly in the Bahama waters. The house was designed with durable materials to withstand the

he World Gateway Hotel was to be
built on South International Drive in
Orlando, FL. The client asked for a world
class design to attract families as a place
to stay while enjoying the attractions. The
design suggests the Bird of Paradise flower
found here in Florida as well as a fine worldclass hotel. The hotel will have 400 units
and 500 keys with two ballrooms, meeting
rooms, restaurant, pool deck amenities and
a fitness center. These pages represent a
portion of my contributions.

the fluting upon a column and
emphasizes the verticality of
the edifice. The plaza in front
creates a landscape reminiscent of Italian gardens.

efore the economic downturn a developer from Las Vegas,

NV. wanted to create the first mixed-use development in the
small town of St George, UT. As part of the design team I helped
to develop the concept of a desert oasis. The lower levels of
the development would consist of underground parking for
protection from the harsh sunny climate. The main and second
level was designed for shops, museums, offices, and restaurants.
Residential apartments and condominiums would be located on
the higher levels and closer to the side of the mountain to take
advantage of the views to the city and desert landscape.

ine weeks during Summer 2004 were spent
studying the masterpieces of
great architects like Hadrian,
Palladio, Scarpa, and Botta,
as well as others. Before
this experience It was as if I
was designing in a poorly lit
room. During the summer the
shutters were pulled open
drenching the room with
inspirational light. My skills of
Chapel at Mogno, Switzerland, Botta
