November 7, 2021 - TRTAD Apartments at 33 S Washington Avenue caters to college students. Columbus, Ohio
My first visit to Japan was far too brief - just a week to explore Tokyo and Kyoto. And yet, it surpassed my expectations, demolished my preconceptions, and spoiled me with color and vibrancy.

July 12, 2024 - "80 On The Commons is located at the east end of the existing Columbus Commons Park and North of the Commons Main Parking Garage. A mixed-use project consisting of six floors of commercial office space, with residential, for-rent apartment units above on six additional floors, the Project will result in 12 stories and have approximately 325,000 sf of gross area.
The last corner stone of the Columbus Commons, 80 On The Commons aims to capitalize on the civic asset in the city’s central open space, used for concerts, festivals, and seasonal events. Its massing is straightforward, occupying an ‘L’ shaped site, creating a firm distinction between residential and office. In between, it captures rooftop amenity space, shared by tenants overlooking the commons. Coupled with an outward facing disposition, the building will play a significant role in the urban life on the park. A façade system comprised of herringbone precast panels, will add texture to the skyline and change with the shadows and movement of the day.
Additionally, the project will include a pedestrian bridge connecting from the adjacent parking garage into the south face of the building. Site work includes urban streetscape along Third Street and Rich Street, service access, ground level mechanical system placement and a pocket plaza on the northwest corner of the site."

October 26, 2023 - AIA tour of the Columbus Municipal Light Plant.
"The Columbus Municipal Light Plant, vacant for years until it was restored for office and auction space, is the 2022 winner of Columbus Landmarks' James B. Recchie Design Award.
The plant, located at 577 W. Nationwide Blvd. near Lower.com Field, home of the Columbus Crew, was built in 1903 and operated until the city closed it in 1977.
It took 3.5 years and ultimately $35 million in construction and other costs to renovate. According to Columbus Landmarks, more than 2,000 tons of material had to be removed from the site.
But crews were able to preserve coal hoppers, hopper doors, interior cranes, rail tracks and the tall smokestack, now a landmark itself: yellow with black vertical lettering spelling out COLUMBUS with the Crew logo below.
"What moved everyone was the attention to detail," said Rebecca Kemper, Columbus Landmarks' CEO.
That included adapting an original coal hopper into office space and retaining master switches that once controlled power to Downtown, including City Hall, plus smaller details such as using control wheels as door components, Kemper said.
It's a project where care was taken, Kemper said. "A real understanding that Brad DeHays had a vision for this site," she said.
DeHays is president of Connect Realty, which developed the site. Sandvick Architects of Cleveland designed the project.
In an email, DeHays said his company bought the property in late 2014. He said it is 100% leased and the businesses will employ more than 215. The buildings have a total of 110,000 square feet.
The three-member jury that reviewed the projects noted: “This is an example of a building that could have been lost, but instead it has been reimagined in a way that took creative thinking and attention to detail. The building honors its history through the integration of industrial artifacts throughout, including turning the suspended coal hopper into office space.
"This project demonstrates how even the most derelict industrial building can be brought back to life.” Previous description of the project: www.dispatch.com/story/news/local/2022/10/05/columbus-mun...

September 7, 2024 - The Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi at 131 Cathedral Place in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
"In 1598, Franciscan Friars entered what is now New Mexico. These priests accompanied the Spanish colonists, who had migrated north from Mexico City.
The City of Santa Fe was founded in 1610. That same year the first church was built on this site. The original adobe church was replaced in 1630 by a larger one, which was destroyed by the Pueblo Indian Revolt of 1680.
The expelled Spaniards returned in 1693, but were not able to rebuild the church until 1714. This new church was named in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Patron Saint of Santa Fe.
The only part of this church still existing is the small adobe chapel dedicated to Our Lady La Conquistadora. Brought from Spain in 1625, the statue is the oldest representation of the Virgin Mary in the United States.
In 1850, Santa Fe received its first Bishop, Father John Baptiste Lamy of France. Judging the 1714 old adobe church as inadequate for the seat of the Archdiocese, Bishop Lamy ordered a new Romanesque church built, and brought French architects and Italian stonemasons to build his Cathedral.
Construction of the Cathedral began in 1869 and continued until 1887. The new Cathedral was built around the former adobe church and, when the new walls were complete, the old church was torn down and removed through the front door.
The stained glass windows in the lower bay are from France and depict the twelve apostles. Seven archbishops, including Lamy, are buried in the sanctuary.
Dedicated in 1887, the Cathedral’s spires were never completed due to lack of funds. During the most recent structural renewal in 1967, the Cathedral was strengthened, new sacristies were added, and a Blessed Sacrament Chapel was built. In 1987, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the stone church, a monumental altar screen depicting famous saints of North and South America was installed.
The Cathedral was elevated to a Basilica by Pope Benedict XVI in 2005. Basilica means a church of particular importance in Rome and abroad. Churches are honored by the Holy Father because of their importance in the history of spreading Catholicism." Previous description: www.cbsfa.org/our-parish-history
