I discuss the challenges of non-conforming buildings, working with planning and zoning departments, and the importance of having a zoning attorney involved. Modern Home Design: I share updates on a modern house project south of the city, including redesigning for cost efficiency and working closely with the contractor on finish plans. Mentoring Future Architects: I had the pleasure of serving as a jury member for architecture students at Kennesaw State University. I offer feedback on the importance of learning hand-built modeling before moving to advanced technologies like 3D printing and laser cutting. Client Success: The week culminated in a unanimous City Council approval for a client’s business purchase, highlighting the value of clear communication and thorough preparation. Professional Network: I emphasize the importance of leveraging a strong network of civil, structural, and MEP engineers to provide comprehensive solutions for clients. Let’s Connect!
