dl-Design Studio PLLC

Blake Interiors

Acting as record architect for the Shell and overall layout of the space. I worked closely with owner & interior designer Kelsey Thomas. I helped Kelsey provide a neutral background for her to inject her color theory, style and furniture selections. This allows the product to shine and the space / architecture to play a supporting role.

Stay tuned for an update on the exterior of the storefront design. It will be the first 're-imagining' of the suburban context, and a return to the classic 20th century downtown business district for this shopping center.

Modern Box-House

Contemporary modern home, with an open plan design. Two boxes connected by a service bar. The public-house box holds living/dining/kitchen with family/guest rooms on the second floor. The private-house box holds an 800 sf accessory dwelling unit for family member. Complete with kitchenette and walk-out to the backyard garden space. The second floor houses the master suite with starlight deck overlooking the tree canopy and garden below. The connector bar holds the laundry & utilities, the elevator and a small reading/family room adjacent to the master suite.

The client wanted very little maintenance and hired a local engineer/builder to construct this prefab house out of a metal stud and high strength concrete SIP construction system. The floors and roof also consist of the same paneled system with stucco finish. The product has an R-value rating of 50+ and a UL tested 3-hour fire rating.

Some owner/contractor leeway was taken with the exterior design, that removed some wood slat/trellis elements that would have provided: texture, warmth and shading from the east/southeast sunlight.

Project was designed while working for a previous firm and I acted as the lead project designer/manager.

FingerLakes Estates

The site is located in the rural farmlands of Central NY State, more specifically the Finger Lakes region. The farmland vernacular and the early settlers architecture was used as the inspiration for the design aesthetic at the main Building.

This is in the early conceptual stage and these renderings were created to provide the client with marketing images to solicit investment partners and to create excitement for potential constituents.
