WHILE WORKING AT ASGG, THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST IN THE DESIGN OF A LOCAL RESIDENTIAL BUILDING BECAME AVAILABLE AS A SIDE PROJECT IN THE FIRM.  THE DESIGN OF THE HOME INVOLVED THE ADDITION OF A THIRD FLOOR  (including a cantilevered bedroom), RE-CLADDING THE EXTERIOR, AND CREATING A GRAND INTERIOR STAIRWAY TO CONNECT THE NEW ADDITION.  THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT WAS TO FIRST DOCUMENT THE BUILDING THROUGH DETAILED MEASUREMENTS; SINCE THE ORIGINAL DRAWINGS WERE IN EXTREMELY POOR CONDITION. SECONDLY, THE DESIGN AND PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT TO THE LOCAL PRESERVATION SOCIETY FOR APPROVAL.  AND FINALLY, DRAWING DETAILED CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR A FAST-TRACK LIKE SCHEDULE TO MITIGATE THE DISTURBANCE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
