A listing of projects which I have been responsible for at NMA Architects are:

• Ostby-Cook Residence – A beach house actually on the beach in Carpinteria, California.  This 6600 square foot home overlooks the ocean to the south and the local mountains to the North. It incorporates a wraparound deck to complete a casual lifestyle second home. Also on the property is a caretakers unit, garages, storage and a tennis court.  This project was challenging due to the historic significance of the existing home which will be relocated on the property.

• Lillie Avenue Restaurant – A major remodel and retrofit from an existing building/home to a 65 seat restaurant in Summerland, California.  The major design challenge associated with this conversion was the planning process which included parking, drainage, historic structures and sound mitigation.  This 2,500 s.f. project is going to be the first vegan restaurant in the area and is highly anticipated.

• Discovery Pavilion at The Santa Barbara Zoo - A 9,000 s.f./ $5M educational/commercial project within the confines of the Santa Barbara Zoo.  The Discovery Pavilion includes two large classrooms for education of zoo visitors, a display animal kitchen, offices and storage. Also include is a garden with surrounding handicapped accessible paths.  The project is focused on achieving Platinum LEED- (energy efficiency and sustainability) status which will be a first in the country for a zoo
