Hologram Technology in Architecture
Nick Mehl Architecture is exploring new ways to present designs to our client. We've recently created a hologram for one of our projects and it will be on display at the Ask an Architect event this Saturday, Oct. 22 at BoConcept downtown. We worked with Zebra Imaging who creates a three dimensional print onto a special kind of plastic sheet and with the use of a certain light source the hologram acheives it's 3D projection. The image shown he is just one of the many angles Zebra Imaging looks at when producing the hologram.

The Move is Complete
Our office has moved to share an office space with five other architects in a centrally located 1950's retail space (see image). We're very excited to be working in a collaborative environment and this will offer new opportunities for accepting bigger projects.

Traditional Architecture
Some folks have asked to see examples of more traditional-style architecture by our office so here are some images of recent work in that genre.

Crestview House
This is our latest design to become a real building. Alex Pettit of Spring Builders is the general contractor. The design is very strictly traditional with extensive research into early 20th century architecture serving as the basis for the overall design and details. I should also admit that the owners have played a big part in actively selecting the interior finishes and I will post updates of the interior to show how nice it's looking.

Building Types
Just returned from a few days vacation and the pause from work gave me a chance to reflect on business (I know I shouldn't be doing that). My specialty seems to be residential green design but do you ever wonder what commissions I would like to take other than single family homes - which I love to do, by the way? Here's a brief list:
1. Mixed-use neighborhood design. Not many people know, but urban neighborhood design was my concentration in grad school. Yes, architects design whole neighborhoods too, sometimes.
2. Mid-rise condominium project on the Texas Gulf Coast. My insurance company might not be too fond of this idea.
3. Catholic or Episcopal Church.
4. Small boutique hotel or inn.
I'll give a 5% discount onany projects like these that come in the door! (Just kidding)
