THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF FIVE PINEHURST ESTATES - GEARHART, OREGON OCEANFRONT RESIDENCES DONE IN COLLABORATION WITH ARCHITECT DIETMAR GOEBEL AND DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACTOR PAUL CARUANA.  I'VE WORKED WITH DIETMAR SINCE THE EARLY 80's (WHEN I TAUGHT HIM HOW TO USE AUTOCAD), AND I'VE BEEN CONSULTING TO PAUL FOR COMPUTER MODELS, RENDERINGS, AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS SINCE 2003.  MY INVOLVEMENT ON THESE PROJECTS USUALLY STARTS WITH A COORDINATION EFFORT TAKING DIETMAR'S EARLY PLANS AND EXTERIOR ELEVATION SKETCHES AND DEVELOPING THEM INTO CAD MODELS / RENDERINGS THAT PAUL WOULD REVIEW AND EVENTUALLY USE FOR MARKETING PURPOSES. 

AFTER THE GENERAL MASSING OF THE PROJECT IS REFINED, I TYPICALLY REVISE AND DRAFT THE FINAL ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL PLANS, BUILDING SECTIONS, EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS AND DETAIL SHEETS.  ON SOME PROJECTS, MY WORK INCLUDES WORKING WITH PAUL (A FINE FINISH CARPENTER) TO DESIGN AND DOCUMENT INTERIOR ITEMS SUCH AS BUILT-IN CABINETRY, ORNAMENTAL STAIRWAYS, RAILING SYSTEMS, AND COFFERED CEILINGS.

SANDPIPER DESIGN GOT ITS START IN GLENEDEN BEACH, OREGON IN 1982.  THIS PROJECT WAS A SPEC HOUSE PROPOSAL...     A QUICK SET OF AUTOCAD DESIGN SKETCHES COMMISSIONED BY A DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACTOR WHOSE OFFICES WERE LOCATED IN THE SALISHAN RESORT SHOPPING MALL.  THE LOT THIS HOUSE WAS DESIGNED FOR IS LOCATED IN THE SALISHAN HILLS DEVELOPMENT OVERLOOKING THE SALISHAN LODGE GOLF COURSE AND SILETZ BAY.  I WAS NEVER ASKED TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THIS PROJECT SO, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE PROJECT WAS NEVER BUILT.

I'VE ALWAYS LIKED THE PROJECT, HOWEVER, SO FOR MARKETING PURPOSES I DID A COMPUTER MODEL USING AUTOCAD 3D AND COMPLETED A SET OF RENDERINGS SOMETIME IN THE 90's.  I ALSO REVISITED THE DESIGN AS A "PRACTICE REVIT PROJECT" IN 2009 WHEN I WAS LEARNING HOW TO USE THAT PROGRAM.  I LEARNED TO DESIGN IN THE "NORTHWEST CONTEMPORARY STYLE" WHILE I WORKED ALONGSIDE ICONIC SEATTLE ARCHITECT FRED BASSETTI FOR SEVEN YEARS.  I ALSO WORKED ON RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS WITH OSKA ARCHITECTS IN SEATTLE, SRG PARTNERSHIP IN PORTLAND, AND WHILE SELF-EMPLOYED AT THE OREGON COAST... A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 20 YEARS IN THE "GREAT WET NORTH".

I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING SAN DIEGO ARCHITECT, KEVIN SCANLAN SINCE WE WORKED TOGETHER AT NTD ARCHITECTS STARTING IN 1995.  WE HAVE COLLABORATED ON SEVERAL RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS.

THE PROJECT SHOWN IS THE 90%+ RECONSTRUCTION / RENOVATION OF A HOUSE IN THE MISSION HILLS AREA OF SAN DIEGO.    A DILAPADATED HOUSE STOOD ON THE PROPERTY WHEN THE OWNER PURCHASED THE LOT.  THE EXISTING HOUSE AND FOUNDATION WERE CAREFULLY FIELD-MEASURED AND AS-BUILT PLANS WERE COMPLETED BEFORE A SELECTIVE DEMOLITION WAS DONE BY THE CONTRACTOR.  KEVIN'S DESIGN SKETCHES FOR A SLIGHTLY LARGER HOUSE WERE DEVELOPED INTO 3D COMPUTER MODELS, RENDERINGS, AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION THAT INCLUDED BOTH ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL DISCIPLINES.  SEVERAL ROOF CONFIGURATIONS AND MODELS WERE STUDIED BEFORE THIS "CRAFTSMAN STYLE" RECONSTRUCTION WAS APPROVED BY THE OWNER.
