Thrive School
Sited on a one-acre parcel in the heart of the Linda Vista community, the 3-level building design nestles into the sloping site. The compact building plan organizes learning spaces around a central gallery with nooks for informal gathering. A bright open stair connects all three levels of the school and brings daylight deep into a flexible basement space used for project-based learning activities.High Tech High North County High School
The 46,000sf high school building is a 2-story CMU and steel structure. The exterior CMU walls act as both the supports for the steel wide flange floor and roof beams and the lateral resisting system. Exposed steel columns and beams are prominent features of the 2-story tall common area and main entry, which bisects the structure. The “simple” concept of this type of structure produced unique complications due to building features located throughout the project; over 150 connection details were necessary along with specific elevations for all 41 masonry walls to clearly define the structure.Escondido Charter High School Gym
A 31,000sf gymnasium and theater structure for Escondido Charter High School in Escondido, California. The project includes two separate 11,000sf 32-foot tall, tilt-up concrete structures matched together with a wood framed single story structure. The mezzanine floors are open web wood trusses, while the main roof structure is comprised of 80-foot plus exposed glu-lam beams supporting panelized wood framing.West Village Square
The central portion of the new West Village development of the UC Davis campus, West Village Square consists of six 4-story mixed-use buildings and a leasing & recreation building.
