RESIDENTIAL & HOSPITALITY
AT NICK NOYES AND LOWNEY ARCHITECTURE
During my time at Nick Noyes Architecture, I immersed myself in the world of high-end single-family residential projects. With meticulous attention to detail, I prepared comprehensive construction drawings and building permit sets, ensuring that every architectural element was flawlessly executed. The pursuit of perfection in every aspect of the building was both challenging and immensely rewarding.
Lowney Architecture specializes in residential and hospitality architecture. My work was often focused on affordable and supportive housing developed in modular technology to maximize density and reduce costs and time of construction. I independently developed feasibility studies for over 50 various scale projects and continue on some of them up to entitlement, preparing, and managing all needed documents. The projects were local - Bay Area. I learned to effortlessly use planning code, density bonus laws, and building code.
My interest in modular architecture led me to collaborate with companies like OS Factory(wood structure) and Stack Modular(steel structure) on various projects. I specifically worked on high-rise developments in Oakland and San Francisco, coordinating with civil engineers and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers. Many of these projects featured fully or semi-automated parking systems, showcasing my expertise in integrating innovative solutions into architectural designs.
