The document provides details about the hypothetical remodel of the George Upchurch House in Cary, NC from the late 1800s. It includes floor plans and elevations showing the proposed additions to bring the structure up to date while preserving the existing architecture. The biggest changes were creating a master suite and kitchen on the main floor and dividing rooms on the second floor to add two walk-in closets and private baths for the two secondary bedrooms. A tobacco barn-style garage connected by a breezeway was also designed.

George Upchurch was a prominent landowner
and tobacco farmer in Cary, NC in the late
1800s. Both he and his brother constructed
homes during this time with both structures
surviving to this day.
The original portion of the George Upchurch
House was completed in 1895 with several
expansions taking place years later. In the
spring of 2014, the structure was moved from
its original location and preserved to make
way for a new townhome community.
After meeting with a local historical society, a
hypothetical remodel was drafted to bring the
Upchurch House up to date, without harming
the existing architecture. The biggest changes
were on the main floor with a creation of a
master suite and functional kitchen. Many
rooms on the second floor were divided to
make way for two walk in closets and private
baths to service the two secondary bedrooms.
An additonal struture was designed to
resemble tobacco barn to act as a two car
garage, and is connected to the main house by
a covered breezeway.

6. CHILDREN’S HOME SOCIETY
Children’s Home Society (CHS) has been
giving children safe homes and providing
education to families since 1902. Over 15,000
children have been placed since its inception.
The non-profit operates in ten North Carolina
cities including Raleigh. This project was
created to show what the Asheville location
would look like which would be the eleventh
CHS location.
The foundation is very traditonal in their
material and furniture selections which include
the colors beige and blue, and cherry
wood tones.
The goal for this project was to stay within
the foundation’s color scheme, but also be
environmentally friendly in the finish and
furniture selection. In addition, all social
worker offices and additional workspaces have
a recycling bin placed in them. Each office has
an operable window that provides natural light
as well as fresh air.
The second level green roof also helps
insulate the building and traps rain runoff to
water the vegetation on the property. Seating
on the roof also provides an additional space
for employees to eat lunch.

Perspective at Teenage Space
The teenage space is a place for teens to relax,
read, watch television, and interact with their
prospective families. The space continues
with the same color scheme as the rest of
the building, but is a little more playful in the
selection of furniture and accessories.

8. MARKETING FIRM
This is recreation of an earlier project using
Revit. The original file was created in AutoCad
and was inserted into Revit and scaled to be
rendered as a 3D model.
The goal for this project was to create private
workspaces as well as to have open seating
areas for employees to sit down to collaborate
on projects. The office also promotes
healthy living by providing a gym with cardio
equipment. All private offices, the break
room, collaborative spaces, and the gym have
exterior views.

10. CASE STUDY HOUSE SEVEN
This project was a digital
recreation using Thorton Abell’s
Case Study House located in Los
Angeles, CA. The home was
completed in July, 1948. This
home features two bedrooms,
two baths, and an abundance
of outdoor living space. The
patio has large overhangs that
cast shadows on the interior
spaces and can be seen in the
axonometric views.

12. The Koto Hotel and Restaurant is a boutique
resort with Asian design influences. The
name Koto comes from the Japanese stringed
instrument similar to the harp, and a Koto
is hung on the wall near the elevators. The
lobby is a comfortable place for guest to
socialize and read with furnishings designed
by China Furniture and Arts. Sconces and
overhead lighting highlight the bluestone
flooring, rosewood and bamboo finishes, and
art displayed throughout the space. Oak lattice
screens mounted on the wall between seating
areas create a sense of divide and privacy in
the large space.

14. PHOTOGRAPHY
In photography, students learned how to take
quality photos in the manual setting without
editing in Photoshop. Students studied the
terms line, framing, texture, rule of thirds, and
hierarchy.
The above photo is a great example of the
rule of thirds with the water tower taking
up about a third of the space. Many vertical
elements can observed in this photo with
much of Downtown Durham in the distance.
