Construction on this 2400 s.f. (267 sq. meter) modestly budgeted, green design-build project began after completing a large lot subdivision with the City of Austin and required all new utilities during construction.

 

In addition to a spatially expansive interior with 11' ceilings (2.67 sq. meter) , we incorporated both North facing and South facing roofdecks of 400 s.f. each (44.5 sq. meter), 800 s.f. of covered outdoor living space (8.89 sq. meter) on the ground floor and two huge cantilevered Master Bedroom window spaces.

 

In front, there is a street-facing covered front porch off the Master Bedroom and a sculptural storage room on the ground floor that the Clients anointed "il Ferro Tartaruga" (the Steel Turtle) and which is outfitted for a future Jacuzzi. This space is a built experiment of the Firm's research into parametric modeling, planarization routines and digital fabrication. All the steel was modeled in 3D allowing it to be all shop cut with no in-field cuts.

 

A super minimalist approach leveraged the structural engineering into creating extra-ordinary outdoor spaces, while a compact plan allows the indoor spaces to naturally brush up against the building envelope and outside spaces.

 

Gray has built a strong reputation as one of the nation's leading design, engineering and construction companies ranking among the Top Food & Beverage Construction Companies across the United States.

The 143,057 s.f. pre-engineered warehouse includes 3,500 s.f. of cold storage space, as well as an office, tire center, and an equipment mezzanine. This project was completed in just 110 calendar days.

Monarda Meadows of Northfield ~ A Native Planting ...the pictures that follow.....

 

Native planting mowed down... ~ August 1st, 2013

 

so my activism is usually much more passive and behind the scenes...

 

but I just couldn't believe that #MNDOT was completely butchering this #native planting in #Northfield today... when I stopped the mower operator to inform him of what he was mowing down, the #Monarda was covered in bees and other insects, his explanation was that he was following directions and there was going to be some grading in the ditch to improve drainage... but to mow it all down!!! the planting was looking so good after the controlled burn this spring... native plantings just don't get the respect they need... put a couple of trees in there and they would have to fence off to the drip line to protect the tree roots... but, that tall grass and weeds... mow it down... no one cares....

 

I feel better. Talk amongst your selves....

 

UPDATE: so my visit with the mower operator may have produced some positive results... The malicious monarda meadow massacre was halted before all were mutilated... Yeah! Stopped by after work to find a narrow strip remaining... Bees were buzzing and happy... Pictures to follow...

 

so we saved a strip of native planting from the mower... the bees can now scramble for the remaining nectar... we must keep educating about the native plantings... we can do better!
