A listing of projects which I have been responsible for at AB design studio are:
- MOXI –The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, Santa Barbara CA – A playground for the brain – the Moxi will be a 25,000 sf museum with 17,000 sf of interactive exhibits, museum store, smart classroom, new media theater, rooftop sky garden and executive offices. The AB design studio team I lead, managed the project through schematic design and design development, then through construction documents, and permitting – the Moxi is now under construction with a scheduled opening of early 2016
- SONOS – Product Development Laboratory, Santa Barbara CA– Located in a 45,000 sf (3) story former moving and storage building in historic lower downtown Santa Barbara, the SONOS PD Lab project was a true challenge. The challenge was fitting testing equipment – some parts were 30’ cubed - and 250 engineers and technicians. AB design studio formed a team of architects experienced with large and complex lab spaces, this team was lead by myself. Following the success of the SONOS-Santa Barbara PD Lab, SONOS insisted we lead the effort to duplicated it in Boston MA.
AB design studio. Los Angeles - After successfully leading to completion the MOXI and SONOS PD designs, I was ready for an even greater challenge – Create AB design studio.Los Angeles. The development firm I previously was directed wanted me closer to manage their multi-family projects through entitlement, design and the owners of ABds wanted to expand into the Los Angeles market – especially the multi-family project type. In April 2014, I single handedly negotiated a lease, purchased and assembled workstations, hired staff and enrolled new and past clients.
