PROJECT GOAL: DESIGN A CUSTOM-BUILT HOUSE WITH ECO-FRIENDLY FEATURES

PROJECT OUTCOME: THE DESIGN PROJECT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT

It is impressive how the arrangement of complex commercial and residential structures has fascinated me over the years and continually inspires my curiosity. I am beyond privileged to have the opportunity to work on significant projects and see their transformation from start to finish. I am working on an extraordinary design project at The Reserve at Lake Keowee, and I am excited to collaborate with a dynamic team as the principal designer.

There are no words to express my gratitude to God for blessing me with the gift of doing what I am passionate about. I love designing aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces, and I get to add my signature touch to the exterior and throughout the interior. Moreover, this is a unique project with multiple levels, and it is extra special because environmentally friendly elements will be a significant part of this home, greatly benefiting the homeowners.

There is so much going on. Still, one of the most critical factors is maintaining clear communication with all individuals involved. Knowing and understanding are essential when highly skilled individuals perform various jobs, especially during change. Even though a design project has multiple parts, I enjoy every moment, including even the most minor and intricate details.

These images show the transformation after phase 1. A lot has taken place. Regardless, I love the details, such as the dome ceiling and the numerous windows, which will allow for ample natural sunlight.
