Projects

Redeemer’s foyer and sanctuary are refreshed with new finishes and lighting. The sanctuary features a curtain at the back of the stage and updates to the existing pulpit. Foyer improvements include an updated check-in desk, furniture and artwork. New finishes extend into the hallways and some offices and classrooms. New signage improves wayfinding throughout the building.

In coordination with the construction administration for a 157-unit apartment complex we were tasked with the redesign of the amenities building which served the adjacent units. The amenities building was originally the kiln building for the historic White Furniture Company. This building now houses the leasing offices for the units, restrooms, clubhouse area with work spaces and meeting areas for the tenants. We are thrilled to have been part of a major project with a rich heritage.

NCSU AIAS Freedom by Design students worked to analyze, present, and design-build a new playground for one of the Governor Morehead school dormitories. OA served as pro-bono Architect of Record for this project, and sponsor/ mentor to the design students, providing field experience and professional accreditation hours.

New construction of a 1-story clubhouse that will be about 2,500 square feet. Modern and contemporary design that includes 2 leasing agents’ desks, 1 offices, a fitness center, a coffee bar, a business center, a waiting area, and restrooms.

This project was a puzzle to design in an existing street level of a downtown  existing apartment building.  The concept originally was to contain a bar, brewery, market and  café.  A mezzanine area was to house a grain storage area for the brewery and market as well as office space for the staff.   The plan was to open up the space in phases while allowing each function to get off the ground.

The Building SL Student Services Center was occupied during the removal of existing soffits and installation of new mechanical equipment. During demolition, evidence of water intrusion from exterior walkways and deteriorated structural conditions were found. The Design Team prepared a Study to assist WTCC in planning a separate structural repair project. At Building SK, we designed a new office, boiler room, roof access ladder, and replacement interior finishes. We also permitted the Temporary Bookstore space in Building ST.

Emery Village is a 129-unit apartment complex located in Concord, N.C. that includes four apartment buildings, a pool and pool house, and a leasing/fitness center. Making this project cohesive required a special level of coordination with our team of consultants.

New 2,100 sf office building to replace facilities that were damaged by a hurricane. The scope included accessible parking, reception, offices, workstations, mechanical/records storage, conference and break room.

This project includes the replacement of second floor spine and double egress corridor doors. The goal of the project was to improve operation and maintenance by replacing oversized and specialty doors with standard size hollow metal doors and high-performance hardware. 

Renovations at Cherry Hospital’s Building ‘W’ included a break area for maintenance staff combined with a mezzanine structure above with stair access. This project is located in an existing open-air landscaping shed, and included two new roll down grilles and updates to the fire/sprinkler system for the areas of work. The breakroom, mezzanine, and stair all received interior finishes, and casework was designed for the interior of the breakroom.

A new medical and mixed-use office and retail building for a long-term client. Very careful site design, built exactly within the limits of Raleigh’s new Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), bridging the vibrant Oberlin commercial corridor and the historic residential neighborhood. The design included shell office space and corner retail, with a full interior fit-up for a new medical office. The building is suspended over parking and integrates site amenity areas for pedestrians and patrons.

This project’s task was to update the exterior components of the basement and to show through renderings what an office space could look like for potential tenants. The entrance to the basement was in desperate need of improvements. So, a new storefront system was recommended to better articulate what kind of space the basement could be. It was the part of the building that was overlooked in the past but has a lot of potential. Along with the storefront, some exterior improvements were proposed for the plaza right outside the basement. Once the exterior improvements are complete, the interior will be further developed.
