Happy summer from in situ studio!

New Project Announcement

We are very excited to be working with DHIC, Inc. as Design Architect for a ten-unit contemporary row house project on an urban site just southeast of downtown Raleigh! We are also looking forward to our collaboration with Perry Cox, AIA, who will be the Architect of Record. Thanks to Gregg Warren and Drew Robinson at DHIC for this incredible opportunity!

Bida Manda to open soon!

The opening of Bida Manda Laotian Restaurant and Bar is just around the corner! Installation of 6,000 pounds of natural sticks harvested from the NC mountains, woven together to form surfaces for walls and ceilings, began last week. Along with dozens of other friends of Restaurateurs Vansana and Vanvisa Nolintha, we enjoyed lending a hand to help create a one of a kind space in Raleigh. Thanks to contractor John Cooper and his team at Southeastern Properties, electrical engineer Greg Rice of Diversified Consulting Group, graphic designer Jaime Van Wart, and the many people at the City of Raleigh who helped make this project a reality!

To learn more about Bida Manda, visit their website or follow their Facebook page.

Book of the Month

Cube by David Morrow Guthrie is a documentation of students’ material investigations in the form of cubes. David’s goal when teaching students at Rice University’s School of Architecture is to “close the gap between conceptual speculation and material reality”. Lessons learned in exploration of forms with real materials are invaluable to architecture students as they grow into a profession centered around form as experienced through the senses and expressed through physical assembly. The “Cube” project is stated as follows:
 
2×4 Frame: Using mechanical connections, construct a wooden frame with outside dimensions of 16”x16”x16”. Materials List: 2x4s; mechanical fasteners; chemical fasteners are not permitted
 
2×4 Frame + Skin: Using only mechanical connections, construct a box with outside dimensions of 16”x16”x16”. Materials List: 2x4s; 5/8” gypsum board; ½” or ¾” plywood; tape; drywall mud; corner bead; mechanical fasteners; chemical fasteners are not permitted

Synthetic Solid: Using only two materials, construct a solid cube with outside dimensions of 16”x16”x16”. Materials List: anything but food
 
Have a look at some of the student work and feel free to try this at home!

Greetings from in situ studio!

Big news this month: we have a summer intern! Read below to learn about the newest member of our studio.

We will be working hard this summer updating our website, so we will be issuing shorter summer editions of our newsletters in June and July. Please stop by our office at any time to say hello, and keep up with our projects and goings-on via our Facebook Page and Twitter Feed.

Thanks for your continuing support, and have a good summer!

Our First Summer InternThis is Jeremy Leonard’s first week at in situ studio! He will be helping us this summer with revamping our graphics, building models, and offering roaming support on our projects. Read Jeremy’s bio here. We are thrilled to have him join the team! 

Project UpdatesWe have recently had two opportunities to visit Aurora, NC, home of the Aurora Fossil Museum. We were invited down east for two very different purposes. First, we have started working on the relocation and renovation of an old farm house and tobacco barn. We plan on moving the old house nearly five miles and adjoining it via a large screened porch and dock to an existing tobacco barn turned living space. Second, we have been working with members of the museum board, town officials, planners, and various community leaders to imagine the future of the town as an educational center for fossils and history, and as a recreational base of operation for bikers, kayakers, fishermen, and other enthusiasts. Our most recent trip even involved a helicopter tour of the area. Aurora has huge potential!

The plant sale shade structure at the North Carolina Botanical Garden is nearly complete! All that remains to create a shaded spot for plant display are the roof slats. Thanks to Jim Ward and the rest of the garden staff for their hard work in assembling the design! We are honored to have been asked to add this small but useful contribution to such an important North Carolina cultural and educational site.

Speaking of small projects, we are very excited to have recently been selected by North Carolina State University as a member of the seven-member, open-ended design contract list. This selection means that we will be on call to assist the university in completing renovation projects that are of a scope limited enough to not require a public RFQ process. We can’t wait to learn what our first project will be!

Book of the MonthDelirious New York by Rem Koolhaas is an iconic manifesto about the chance dialogue between architecture and culture. Written by Koolhaas in 1978 while he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies in New York, the book examines the evolution of the urban form of Manhattan and the commentary this provides on American Capitalism. If you are a fan of New York City, a student of the history of urban design in the United States, or just enjoy humorous and critical cultural commentary, you will love this book and its numerous illustrations!

Detail of the MonthAbove is the folded metal roof and wall detail at a house named Fred, formerly referred to as the Orange County Residence. Follow this project from the clients’ perspective here.

Working In Our CommunityMatt, Erin, and Nicole took a roadtrip to Washington DC for the AIA National Convention. We had a great time reconnecting with colleagues and mentors, making new connections, exploring the many museums, and walking the city! On the way out of town we stopped in Hollin Hills, a post WWII planned neighborhood development of modern architecture that offers a refreshing counterpoint to current suburban development. 

As the school year came to an end, we were involved with helping many students of architecture. Matt and Erin visited Ravenscroft School to help students design competition boards and revise their entries for theArchitecture for Humanity competition [un] restricted access. Matt was a guest critic for final reviews atAppalachian State University and UT Austin. While in Boone, Matt was able to tour ASU’s recent Solar Decathalon entry, the Solar Homestead. And, Matt’s studio, co-taught with Don Kranbuehl of PBC+L, wrapped up with a successful final review. They will be mounting a show later this summer in the College of Designmain gallery.

Habitat ReStore of Wake County, Architecture for Humanity Raleigh, and Triangle AIA Young Architects Forumare hosting the ReSpace Competition asking for designs of small spaces made of reused materials. We support the mission of this competition and encourage you to spread the world! Learn more about the competition here. 

Finally, we hope to see you June 6 from 6-8:30pm at the AIA Center for Architecture and Design when we host the international architectural photography exhibit Modernism at Risk, sponsored by TMH. This will be an amazing event!

Please contact us if there is anyway we can help you.

New Projects

We are thrilled to announce that we are designing a new restaurant for downtown Raleigh: Bida Manda Laotion Restaurant and Bar. We are currently in the permitting phase and plan to start construction in a month. Thanks to Vansana Nolintha for this amazing opportunity! It has been a pleasure collaborating with a client who is such a talented designer. We also look forward to coordinating graphics with Jaime Van Wart, who has already created a brilliant brand image for Bida Manda. Follow the progress of Raleigh’s hottest new restaurant on the Bida Manda Facebook Page.

We are also ecstatic to be working with Church of the Holy Family on the design of a renovation and addition to their existing Parish Hall and other improvements to their beautiful campus. We first mentioned this project a year ago in a previous newsletter, and we can’t wait to get this much anticpated project started!

Modernism at Risk

Triangle Modernist Houses has brought to Raleigh the internationally-known traveling photography exhibit, Modernism at Risk, featuring the photographs of Andrew Moore. The exhibit will be June 1-9 at the AIA Center for Architecture and Design, with special hosts each night. in situ studio will be hosting this event on Wednesday June 6, from 6-8:30pm. We hope to see you there! 

Book of the Month

Envisioning Information by Edward R. Tufte examines how to visually and clearly represent complex information. There are no pie charts in this diagram-loaded book! As designers, visual communication is a critical part of what we do. This book has been a powerful tool.

Detail of the Month

This month we elected to focus on a few of the affordable modern details used at the Chasen Residence.   

Working In Our Community

For the past month, YAF Triangle has been enjoying our office space for design charrettes for the latest YAF Have a Seat project, a bus shelter. It will be located across the street from the Raleigh City Farm. Thanks to the dedicated work of the entire team!

Last month, Erin and Matt gave a presentation about in situ studio and our work to the AIA Winston-Salem section. Also, Erin was on the jury for the City of Raleigh 2012 Environmental Awards. The awards were presented to this year’s winners at the new Nature Research Center wing of the Museum of Natural Sciences. 

At the end of April, Matt was featured on Raleigh Obscura, a local blog that features people who, “Make Raleigh an interesting and vibrant place to live.” Read the post here. 

Last month Nicole shared her 306 sqft studio apartment in our mini-series, “Where We Live.” The apartment has since been selected as a contestant in Apartment Therapy‘s Small Cool Contest! See her submission for the “Teeny-Tiny” category here, and browse through all of this year’s small home entries here.

Greetings from in situ studio!

It is officially one year since we sent out our first monthly newsletter! We’ve enjoyed all the responses we’ve received in the last year. Thanks for reading!

This month we have updates on a few projects, the last of our “Where We Live” mini-series, and some exciting community news.

Thanks for your continuing support! 

Project Updates

The design of Carpenter Park in Cary in progressing well. Our full-day charrette with landscape architects DHM Design, civil engineers Falcon Engineering, and artist Christine Bourdette, produced three promising design concepts we are moving forward with.

The NCBG Plant Sale Shade Structure construction has begun by the North Carolina Botanical Garden staff. Footings are in place and the columns are going up! 

The design for the Orange County Residence continues to develop, thanks to a wonderful collaboration with nBaxter Design and LE Meyers Builders. 

The Wilfong Residence is moving forward with construction of the detached office/storage shed alongside a Cameron Park neighborhood alley. We are still developing the design of the renovation/addition to the main house.

The Morgan Residence, our first out-of-state project, is now under construction in Charlottesville, VA. Thanks to Element Construction for making this a reality.

Where We Live

We’ve shared with you Matt’s house and Erin’s house. Now here’s Nicole’s studio apartment! If you’ve ever talked to Nicole about her 306 sqft studio, it is obvious how much she loves it. Less than 1 mile from our office, it’s located in one of Raleigh’s most walkable parts of town. It has large operable windows, wood floors, mini cacti, and plenty of built-in storage. See pictures and learn more about it here.

Book of the Month

Precedents in Architecture is a collaboration by two NCSU College of Design professors (current and former)Roger Clark and Michael Pause. NCSU architecture graduates know this book very well. The book is full of diagrams examining buildings by architects from Aalto to Zumthor. The real beauty of this book is that it identifies building design strategies that transcend time by illustrating the organizational logic of buildings from the pre-classical eras to the present.

Detail of the Month

We are quite fond of “popout windows” here at in situ studio. They amplify the connection between a space and the outside, while creating usable space that escapes the boundaries of the exterior wall. At the Goodman Residence, this popout window is an extension of the desk in Jim’s office. 

Working In Our Community

Erin and Nicole attended this year’s Urban Design Conference with the theme this year: “Urban Reset: green. smart. just.” It was an inspiring day full of talks about livability and opportunity in the modern day city. The Conference website will have pictures and videos soon, in the meantime you can see highlights of the day by Matthew Munoz of New Kind here.

Also this month we began a collaboration with the Triangle Land Conservancy to launch a special campaign. We’ll be excited to share that with you next month! 

You may have seen Raleigh City Farm‘s kickstarter project launch and surpass their goal! With 10 days to go, there is still time to support this local urban agriculture venture! 

If you have been following the progress of Walk Raleigh by CityFabric, you know how big of a splash it has made in national and international conversations about healthy communities. Now this local project has gone national with the launch of Walk [Your City]. The kickstarter project will gain support to create an open-source website so anyone can create their own guerrilla wayfinding project. Learn more about the project here.

Please contact us if there is anyway we can help you.

Greetings from in situ studio!

This month we have updates on a few of our projects that are under construction and exciting news about our involvement in the community.

Thanks for your continuing support!

Project Updates

The Goodman Residence is now framed, giving form to the house and its spaces. We are really impressed with the work of Anchorage Building Corporation.

The Chasen Residence, built by Axiom Green Build, is progressing quickly. Windows, doors, siding, and spray foam insulation are installed, with sheetrock currently in progress. 

The Cox Sood Residence is complete! Thanks to Redfoot and Weber for a wonderful collaboration.

The Graham Pobiner Residence is also complete. Thanks to Ballard Construction for tackling this challenging renovation!

See other images of these projects on our website.

Where We Live

Last month we looked at Matt’s house in East Raleigh. This month we look at Erin’s house in the historic Mordecai neighborhood, only 2 miles from our studio. With a vegetable garden, fruit trees, a chicken coop, and bee hive, Erin’s yard is just as interesting as her 1923 bungalow. Learn more about Erin’s house on our website. 

Book of the Month

John Pawson: Plain Space by Alison Morris explores the work, processes, and inspirations of John Pawson, a contemporary minimalist architect. The book’s large photographs portray his compositional use of mass, void, light, and material. You can stop by our office to flip through an autographed copy, signed by Mr. Pawson at hisNCSU School of Architecture lecture last year.

Detail of the Month

Last year we visited the Triangle YMCA‘s Camp Seafarer to prepare for a shortlist interview. While there, we discovered the bunk houses designed by Leif Valand. The walls of the houses were designed to open along their entire length to allow ventilation. Note also the use of local cypress and 4′-0″ eave overhangs that have enabled the buildings to survive more than fifty years in a harsh environment!

Working in Our Community

NC State University’s School of Architecture is bustling with activity. Matt and Don Kranbuehl of PBC+L are co-teaching a graduate studio titled “Architecture Design: Form.” This week, their students had a final review of a short and intensive project where students investigated form and a basic program through formal relationships and transformative operations. Dennis Stallings, also of PBC+L, and Vinny Petrarca of Tonic were the jurors. Also, the school, its work, and the faculty were recently reviewed for reaccreditation, a process which occurs every 5-6 years. Visit the school’s main gallery through 03 10 12 to see a show of faculty work mounted as part of the accreditation exhibit.

With the Raleigh Planning Commission, Erin visited Charlotte to learn how the state’s largest city approaches city planning. Also this month, Erin was a distinguished guest, alongside Kenneth Hobgood and Brian Shawcroft, at the Triangle Modernist Houses (TMH) event Appetite for Architecture, where people can reserve a seat at a table with local architects. The next TMH event is the Modernist House Tour in Durham. And, starting this year, Matt has taken Erin’s place on the TMA Advisory Council.

Last month, Nicole helped Matt Tomasulo of CityFabric with Walk Raleigh, a guerilla way-finding project around downtown Raleigh. This month the project has grown to over 700 Facebook supporters, with local, national and international attention from WRAL, The Atlantic: Cities, and The BBC, among many others. Support the project and walkability in Raleigh here!

Happy New Year from in situ studio!

The first month of the year has been extremely productive, with several new projects in schematic design and numerous others still in construction. We also have big news about our studio team!

Thank you for your continuing support!

Project Updates

The design for the Orange County Residence continues, with our first round of cost estimates and scope revisions currently in progress. This is our first project to implement a geothermal heat pump, which uses the ground’s moderate temperature as a resource to cool or heat the house. The Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit will reduce the cost of this system by 30%, enabling it to cost less than a standard HVAC system. 

The Staton Simmons Residence is almost complete! The design added a new master bathroom, and much-needed storage to a historic home in Boylan Heights. The Staton Simmons have easily earned “Most Patient and Tolerant Client of the Year” for having lived in the house during the renovation work – with two small kids! See images of the completed project here.

We visited Carpenter Park this month and plan to move forward with the Master Plan design in the next several weeks in collaboration with DHM Design. See pictures of the park’s surrounding site and learn more about this project here. 

Our First Full-Time Employee

We our ecstatic to announce that Nicole has been hired full-time at in situ studio after tirelessly claiming the exclusive honor of “Intern of the Month” for the past 10 months! Nicole brings amazing design sensitivity to the table, as well as critical feedback on the business aspect of the office, thanks to her degree in Global Innovation Management. Through her thesis, she focused on improving in situ studio’s online communication and presence, specifically through this newsletter and the website. As a second topic to her thesis, she researched accessory dwellings, or backyard apartments, and will soon launch a blog to document the ongoing progress of this research. Her personal website showcases her architecture, photography, and gnome-making skills.

Where We Live

You can learn a lot about architects and designers by observing where they live. As a mini-series in our newsletters, we’ll be sharing “Where We Live” by highlighting one of our places each month. All three of us reside within a three mile radius of the studio, supporting our mission of building community in downtown Raleigh. This month, we begin with Matt’s house.

Matt lives with his wife, Ashley, and their three kids 3 miles from our studio, in East Raleigh. His mid-century modern house, designed by August Lewis Polier in 1954, is sensitively nestled in the woods along Longview Lake Drive. Learn more about Matt’s home and why he lives there by visiting our website. 

Book of the Month

Pairing well with last month’s book In Praise of Shadows, Thermal Delight in Architecture by Lisa Heschong looks at the potential of designing for thermal quality. The two books are similar in their petite size, but also in the way the authors explore an intangible element of design that has been displaced by modern technology. With a solid foundation of the history of specific cultures and their respective climates,  this book is both insightful and inspiring. 

Detail of the Month

Insulated Slab Edge Detail at the Goodman Residence.

Working In Our Community

The Exploris Middle School Bus Bench dedication this month was a grand success! Taking place at the AIA NC CfAD, the space was full of students, local supporters, Raleigh’s Mayor Pro Tem, and two other City Council members. Presenters included in situ studio, Exploris teachers and students, and esteemed guest speaker Lieutenant Governor Walter Dalton. See local press coverage from News 14 Carolina and pictures of the event on our website.

Raleigh City Farm hosted an open house to introduce the crew of founders, supporters, and designers collaborating to make Raleigh’s first urban farm a reality. The community provided feedback and invaluable support. Learn more about our involvement and see pictures of the event here.

We’re avid supporters of CityFabric‘s new project: Walk-Raleigh. On these oddly warm winter days, try taking a walk around town to find these signs and imagine a more walkable future.

Next month, Erin, along side local architects Kenneth Hobgood and Brian Shawcroft, will be a guest of honor at the Triangle Modernist Houses event Appetite for Architecture. It is a dinner for the public to meet and converse with architects. Registration deadline is February 14 and seats are limited!

Please contact us if there is anyway we can help you.

Holiday greetings from in situ studio!

Our year is ending with much excitement. We have received an honourable mention in an international design competition, started several new residential projects, and landed our first public project! 

As always, thank you for your support!

Honourable Mention: Mobile School for Burmese Refugees
We are thrilled to announce that in situ studio, with Matt Weiss and David Hill AIA, received an honourable mention for our proposal for a Mobile School for Burmese Refugees, a competition sponsored by Building Trust International. Learn about the intent of the competition and see more images of our design here. 

Project Updates

The Chasen Residence construction is progressing at an outstanding rate thanks to Axiom Green Build. It’s completely framed and roofed! Take a drive down East Hargett in Raleigh to see it in person.

The Cox Sood Residence is almost complete! With a Certificate of Occupancy in hand, Chris and Annu have already moved in. Thanks to Redfoot and Weber. 

The Goodman Residence prefabricated concrete panels are in place, the slab is poured, and steel is installed.Anchorage Building Corporation is doing incredible work! Thanks to Matt Petr, an MArch candidate at NCSU, we have a beautifully crafted physical model in our office. Come by anytime to see it!

The Graham Pobiner Residence is also nearing completion. Now that the walls have been sheetrocked, we are anticipating paint, millwork and lighting. Thanks to Accipiter for the lighting design, and Ballard Construction for making this project a reality!

New Projects

We are thrilled to have started design of the Orange County Residence, our third ground-up house. The modern house will be sited on a north-facing slope, and the design will push the limits of sustainability. Stay tuned for further developments next year! 

For the first time, we are teaming with DHM Design, Falcon Engineering and Smith & Smith Surveyors for the master plan of Carpenter Park in Cary. Inspired by its surroundings, the park’s primary mission is to preserve the rich agricultural heritage still present in much of Cary’s landscape. We look forward to working with the Town of Cary on our first public project! 

We have also started work on several new renovations to houses in Raleigh, including the Wilfong Residence. 2012 is shaping up to be a fun and challenging year!

Book of the Month

In his essay In Praise of Shadows Jun’ichiro Tanizaki explores many aspects of Japanese culture, from meditation to costume to traditions. Especially interesting is his portrayal of shadows as an architectural material ingrained in Japanese customs. According to Tanizaki, “Were the shadows to be banished from its corners, the alcove would in that instant revert to mere void.” This is Nicole’s favorite book, and it is a good read for architects and non-architects alike.

Detail of the Month

Skylights can transform a space by introducing daylight, creating a sculptural ceiling surface, denoting hierarchy, and providing glimpses of the sky. At the Stokes Residence, there is a dialogue between skylights over the cooking island and fireplace. We integrate skylights into our designs whenever possible, always being sure to orient them in a manner that minimizes solar heat gain. 

Working In Our Community

The Exploris Middle School Bus Bench is now installed on Wilmington Street in downtown Raleigh! We will have a dedication next month for all the students, teachers, designers, and supporters involved. Visit ourwebsite to see pictures and learn more about this project. 

The semester has come to an end at NCSU’s School of Architecture, and the final projects that Matt’s students created were truly amazing. Matt co-taught  a graduate studio titled “Architecture Design: Technology” with Dr. Wayne Place. He looks forward to teaching another graduate studio next semester, “Architecture Design: Form.”

We are pleased to have seen so much community support for Raleigh City Farm at their foodtruck fundraiser this past month. Our role in helping make Raleigh City Farm a reality is collaborating with local designers to create a master plan. Learn more here. 

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

We hope that you and yours have a relaxing holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving from in situ studio!

We are so thankful for your support over the last year. Our one-year birthday celebration was a blast! We were thrilled to see so many of our clients, collaborators, colleagues, and friends at the event. With several new projects in the works, and a few potential projects on the horizon, we’re working hard and feeling good about the year ahead! Happy to be in the midst of deadlines and the holidays, we wanted to send out a quick newsletter, saving a complete update until December.

Also, Nicole has been working on a thesis for her business degree that focuses on her internship at in situ studio. Please help her out by responding to a questionnaire pertaining to our firm’s online presence. Be honest – constructive criticism would be of great value, and we have thick skin!

As always, thank you for your continuing support! 

Working in Our Community

A big thanks to the Raleigh City Farm crew and collaborators Joanna Lelekacs, Tipton Fowlkes, Andy Petesch, and Ryan Finch for a successful, first on-site charrette earlier this month. We’re off to a strong start! Also, Raleigh City Farm is hosting their first annual food truck fundraiser this Saturday. We hope to see you there! 

We have had two opportunities to present ourselves to the community in the past month. We spoke alongside Matt Tomasulo of CityFabric at the first Raleigh Design Mixer, hosted by the Raleigh AIGA and NCSU’s Design Council at the newly opened The Raleigh Forum. We were also honored to be elected by the student community at the NCSU School of Architecture to speak on the Local Practices Panel for the AIA Triangle and NCSU School of Architecture Joint Lecture Series. Speaking about how we work really helps us define our goals as a firm. These talks have newly invigorated us!

Please contact us if there is anyway we can help you.
