3. SPACE
A combination of past, present, and future.
It is an interpretive synthesis - a creation
of thoughts, belongings, and experiences.
As individuals, we create our own space,
our own interpretive synthesis. My
Architecture is a reflection of my space,
and it is through Architecture that I desire
to help another express his/her own
interpretive synthesis.

Sportsplex was in need of a big face lift.
It had been since the start, 18 years, since
this space had seen some TLC. With a
strict budget in place, not all of it could be
renovated, but with a little bit of creativity
some of the finishes were able to be kept.

OLL NH DAThe Holland, MI, location needed an
expansion to the fitness floor. In order to
accomplish this we had to demolish one of
the Racquetball courts, adding 1600sq.ft. to
the current floor. During this project, I worked
closely with the Architects and Contractors
to design the space from start to finish.

1. Remodel rooms that hadn’t been touched in almost 20 years.

Hotel called for an updated look. There
were 3 different styled rooms that needed
to be remodeled along with the Lobby. We
distinguished these rooms as the old wing,
the new wing, and suites. Each wing was
worked on in different phases.
