We are honored to have just received an AIA Merit Award for the design of this Tallahassee residence. The 3,000 SF home was designed to respect the mass and scale of the surrounding, existing neighborhood while embracing a contemporary design inspired by light, simplicity and materiality. "Much care has been given to the floor plan and circulation, emphasizing exterior view opportunities, thus presenting a thoughtful approach to the blending of exterior and interior. Formal resolution of building elements helps create feelings of intimacy within a large home. A light, airy, response that successfully integrates courtyard and the exterior spaces into the experience of the home." - Jury Comments

The new pavilion, set to open in early 2018, showcases this popular medium and will be free to visitors.

We enjoy mentoring design students and contributing to educational programs – from contributing to scholarship programs, to guest lectures on current design topics, to participating in design critiques and student career fairs. On September 15, Ryan Sheplak and Hays Layerd set out to expand their outreach to students at Auburn University. They connected with design students in the Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design programs, sharing insight on our company culture and internship opportunities, as well as helpful career advice to those who will soon graduate and enter the workforce. Following the presentation Ryan and Hays enjoyed networking with students at the AIAS Dog Days cook-out.

We are honored to have been chosen by the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce to be featured in their latest GrowTLH video. It provides a glimpse into our company culture, mission and passion, and what drives us to cultivate local partnerships, create jobs, and contribute to the changing landscape of our community.
