September 2017

Fall has started, construction is underway on several projects, some new projects have come on board, and we have a new person in our office! Catch all the news below.

This year’s AIA NC Design Conference in Wilmington was a huge success! Many thanks to all who came to learn, connect, participate in the charrettes, and celebrate design! We are honored to have won three design awards for the Taylor Residence, Ocotea Residence, and Jubala Coffee. Congratulations to our friends and colleagues for their awards and honors. It was a great long weekend in a beautiful city!

 

This month we welcomed Jackie Tomlin to our team! Jackie grew up in Kernersville, NC before attending Appalachian State University. She graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. While at Appalachian she worked on the 2011 Solar Decathlon and the 2014 Solar Decathlon Europe proposals. During her final year at ASU she participated in a design-build studio at Blackburn Farms in Ashe County. In 2016 she received a MArch from UNC Charlotte. While there she was a GASP Recipient and worked as a Research Assistant in the Integrated Design Research Lab. After graduating, she worked with Little Diversified Architectural Consulting, working on higher education projects, including the Case Commons Dormitory at NC State and the Admissions Building at Campbell University. When she is not “architecting” she likes to paint watercolors of woodland animals and old houses. She and her husband, Zack, live in downtown Raleigh and travel whenever possible. Jackie has jumped right in, joining us for new headshots by Keith Isaacs, building models, interfacing with clients, and providing a new burst of energy in the office!
