Design Details: Mobile Chicken Coop
In order to provide a client’s flock with luxurious and easy-to-
maintain quarters, we designed a mobile unit to build on top of
a trailer which can easily be moved to provide fresh pasture.
Design Details: Masonry and Wood
P. Allen Smith & Associates are extensively involved with designing bespoke architectural features
and garden ornaments, particularly in wood and masonry. Our design process involves conceptual
drawing, construction documents, material sourcing, and collaboration with contractors and
craftspeople throughout construction to ensure that design intent is realized in the built product.
In-Progress Ironwork Construction
By collaborating with a local local ironmonger, we were able
to use prefabricated pieces to create an elegant bespoke
balustrade and pergola for a client’s garden.
Ironwork Construction Drawings
This project involved designing a to fit existing masonry, while also relating to existing ironwork
and fulfilling the client’s desire for a fanciful aesthetic experience.

architecture. Confluence’s Kansas City office focuses on planning and urban design, particularly
in Kansas City and surrounding communities. Through collaboration with other community experts,
Confluence ensures that their design strategies will fulfill their clients’ intentions. My experience at

10. The North Downtown Saint Louis Development project identified urban issues for an
underdeveloped 600-acre site north of downtown Saint Louis. Following construction of a new
bridge from Missouri to Illinois, the study area will become a new focus of attention for Saint
Louis. As part of an early planning process to reconnect the city fabric across the Interstate 70
corridor, our team proposed a series of elevated green park corridors connecting the urban fabric
across the highway.

12. How to Prioritize Stormwater Interventions?
Apalachicola Stormwater Strategy, Apalachicola, Florida | Fall 2013
Apalachicola, Florida, is a small seaside community (population
2000) that currently faces major water pollution and poor
stormwater system performance.
Municipal GIS data on land use, slope, and existing
hydrologic systems was used to identify priority streets for
streetside stormwater interventions. This analysis will enable
designers and the city of Apalachicola to more effectively
implement streetside stormwater interventions, such as
permeable paving and bioswales.

Averaging the priority level of points along the streets
identified each street’s relative priority for streetside stormwater
interventions. By concentrating streetside stormwater mitigation
efforts on the High and Very High priority streets, the city could
most effectively begin to address its stormwater problems.

Food Sources
Despite Saint Louis’s thriving food culture, north downtown Saint Louis lacks sources of healthy
food, with only three grocery stores within the 635-acre study site. As one of the green corridors
identified in the North Downtown Saint Louis Development study, four blocks between O’Fallon
and Biddle streets - Saint Louis’s current food distribution center - were chosen to become
a food district. With high visibility for those entering the city, a strategy of ground-level urban
spaces and rooftop promenades create a strongly identifiable food district. Food on the Roof took
Saint Louis’ existing food scene and envisioned a tastier future for an underutilized site.

process for Food on the Roof involved working across scales,
as well as mediating between hand drawing and digital
modeling. Each of the overlooks was designed to as part of the
seamless spatial experience of the foodwalk.
Integrating planters and seating, the foodwalk was molded as a seamless
spatial experience. It provides a continually changing sequence of views of
the surrounding city. Edible plantings integrated into this walk provide a fully
immersive experience. The foodwalk provides a physical tie between various
elements of the food district.
