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".
RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS SUMMARY...
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.
