Month: October 2014

Happy Halloween from in situ studio! 

And a big thank you to everyone who came by our fourth birthday party last night!  It was a pleasure to catch up with friends old and new, and to watch the kids create delightful sidewalk art (a few of us were also hit by a stray paper airplane or two).  Many thanks to Sympathy for the Deli, PieBird, Big Boss Brewing, and The Wine Feed, who provided delicious food and drinks!

Taylor Residence

The Taylor Residence, located outside Charlotte, will begin construction very soon! We are excited to be working with The Ullman Group for the first time. They have been engaged as the contractor from the beginning of the design process, and have been great collaborators since day one. We are foreseeing many trips to the Charlotte area in the coming months, and can’t wait to see this house come to life!

Corbett House

We are excited to have completed construction documents and to start construction of the Corbett House! We have enjoyed the design process working with our clients, who share our love for simple design and well-crafted details.  The design is a slender, single-story bar, oriented to bring in light and views of the surrounding forest.  Many thanks to Bob Aiello and Aiello Builders for their help and involvement in the project thus far.

The Ten at South Person

We had our first construction site meeting this week for The Ten at South Person! We are excited the project is now underway and have really enjoyed working with DHIC, Perry Cox, Hilary Stokes, and Northview Construction to get to this point! Stay up to date on construction progress here.

Please contact us if there is any way we can help you.

We have many exciting news items this month!  Yesterday, on October 1, we celebrated our fourth birthday!  Stay tuned for a birthday-related announcement later this month.

AIA NC Design Conference

Last week, Erin, Matt, and Jeremy attended the AIA NC Design Conference in Charlotte. Erin presented a talk with Frank Harmon and Catherine Hofmann about their Activate 14 initiative, and Erin and Matt attended daily sessions, including inspiring design-centered talks by Andres Duany of DPZ, Don Kranbuehl of Clark Nexsen,Daniel Snyder, and Juan Gabriel Moreno.
 
The conference culminated with the Design Awards Gala, where three of our projects were recognized – Honor Awards for a house named Fred and the Farmhouse and a Merit Award for the Chasen Residence. Congratulations to all the award winners and especially to Phil Szostak Design, recipient of the 2014 NC Firm of the Year Award!

Love and Happiness

This month, in situ celebrated a wedding!  Mary got married!  Mary and Justin Conley, a scientist, Kentuckian, and “in situ” brewmaster, tied the knot last weekend at Timberlake Earth Sanctuary in Whitsett, NC.  It was a great weekend full of family, friends, sunshine, dancing, BBQ, and beer.  The two lovebirds met in 2009 when they were neighbors living on Watson Street in Raleigh.  We are so excited for them both and wish them lots of love in the coming years!

Activate 14 Urban Housing Conference

We displayed our investment in fostering a diversity of housing options in the Triangle at the Activate 14 Urban Housing Conference.  Matt’s talk highlighted the Ten at South Person, the RA 50 Accessory Dwellings, and theChasen Residence as examples of scales of dwellings that can address the needs of most people.  Jeremy and Mary’s entry in the internationally juried Live-Work Micro-Dwelling Competition, entitled “Stacking the Porch,” won the top prize!  See Jeremy and Mary’s submission, and other winning entries, here.

The Ten at South Person

The Ten at South Person is underway! Site work started a couple of weeks ago, and slabs should be poured next week. We have really enjoyed the design collaboration with Perry Cox and our client, DHIC, and are so happy to see the project now coming out of the ground. Hilary Stokes has done a wonderful job marketing the project, and all ten units are spoken for. We are looking forward to working with Northview Construction as they assemble Raleigh’s first modern, multi-unit row house project! Follow progress on our Instagram account.
