Ascension Catholic - Pavilion revisited after design completion

As my friends and family know, I am always updating my representational documents.  I have completed my new business card design, new resume, and new portfolio design complete with cover page.  In other good news, Google finally fixed the blog!

I am back to working with Ascension Catholic School.  We made the building smaller and did away with the design phases.  The parents want something that can be built all at once.  We are not going to be able to call it the "New Pavilion Building" anymore.  The pavilion stage is history.

Originally the design was broken down into 3 phases for budgeting purposes.

PHASE ONE:


This phase is a metal structure that would provide shelter from rain for sporting events. 

PHASE TWO:


This phase encloses the basketball court, making the facility more professional.

PHASE THREE:


In this phase an office area is added to the front of the building, and locker rooms are added on the back.  This is intended to be the final stage of design. 


A year has gone by since I last worked with the school.  They now want to use the money raised toward a smaller structure.  In the first redesign I am doing, you can see that the building has been turned to face the adjacent street and is now half the size it was originally designed to.  The arches were moved to the face of the building.

SCHEMATIC DRAWING:


After talking with Liz and Daniel, we decided to do away with the arches and add dormer windows to better communicate the structure with the old convent building.  The Old convent building was built in 1850.  The Historic character of the campus must be assimilated in the design.  Having more space in the budget allows us to embellish the New Pavilion Building more.

I am glad the project is being adjusted.  We have a lot more freedom now.  I think the result is more cohesive with the campus.

A rigid, linear layout is used to complement the rectilinear forms of the office plan. Light fixtures were chosen to mimic the forms of the desks and tournament rooms on the mezzanine level.  flexible track lighting allows for an organic lighting layout under the Mezzanine level following that of the the office systems furniture chosen from the resolve system by herman miller.

I like to paint as well as design.  This is a picture I painted for my friend, Amanda, as a wedding gift.  Pedro the frog... Acrylic on wood And here is another project which will be a New Orleans scene when it is finished.  This picture is not the most recent.  I will post another when I finish.
