Not that much progress, but shapes are emerging..
BAJAJ BUILDING
Almost complete!, with my new MARKTCT ride… haha
1972 Henry Hester Gem in La Jolla
Looking to add a large addition. The copper standing seam roof edge detail is not original, added by another local architect in the 90s, which unfortunately made its own statement, changing the architecture, and the roof still leaked. A very cool house nonetheless.
Field Site Analysis And Design
Old school approach, experience the site, feel it, notice everything about it… Sketch right there on site. Gorgeous 6 acre site with seasonal stream in Temecula, CA.
BAJAJ BUILDING
St Francis Of Assisi Chapel
On my way on a rainy day to meet clients to look at property in Wine Country Temecula, I drove through Warner Springs. Saw this as I went by, did a u-turn to go back and check it out. Super cool old structure!
Built in 1830 apparently, this adobe structure has had some major settlement over the nearly 200 years. Check the retrofit buttresses on the backside holding up the severely leaning wall.

People House - 2008
Innovative design I created 13 years ago for simple and versatile living. A solar-powered house who’s interior could evolve as your life evolves. Talk about an “open floorplan”…

Architecture
Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Test Mix Day
Very special project in Carlsbad investigating using UHPC in conjunction with concrete forming products, and in other ways, providing superior strength, economy, and additional architectural freedoms. Special Inspector observing and taking samples for testing in the lab. Several batches made today with enough left over for my little architectural concrete veneer block mold experiment!
Ride By
Passed by a couple of my old past projects on my bike ride this morning. Love the weathered look of good modern asian design, if I do say so myself.
BAJAJ BUILDING - Gold Paint Sample
Never been so excited about gold paint, but this stair will be stunning when completed!
