I recently got a call from a past client, Pat Gaylor who participated in the design of the VISION and REVISION homes from last year in Orlando. She was working on a new project, in conjunction with Building Media, and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building America program on a remodel project known as The Cool Energy House.  The Cool Energy House project is a deep-energy remodeling demonstration house, headed up by Southern Traditions Development, with numerous techniques and innovations which are sponsored by numerous corporations, including GE, Panasonic, BASF, Simonton, Clopay, Therma-Tru and many others.

Since our project from last year was so successful, I jumped at the chance to work with Pat and the gang again.  My expectations were exceeded.  The results from everyone’s combined efforts I believe are fantastic.

Hamilton Furniture & Textiles designs and builds their own furniture which are on display and sold in showrooms in some of the most elite locations in the country, including Palm Beach, New York, Boston, San Fransisco, and Atlanta.  I had the opportunity to photograph Hamilton’s founder and Director of Design Catherine Stewart’s personal home in Palm Beach.  These interior appointments were all designed and built by her and her team.  The simple yet elegant theme is quite apparent throughout and is clearly conveyed in a few of my favorite shots from the day.

Royal Concrete Concepts, a commercial construction company that specializes in modular and pre-fabricated construction, recently completed two new projects they asked me to photograph.  The first is the Martin County Traffic Monitoring Station, that contains a control room with a giant video screen where a technician can monitor every intersection in real time, with full traffic signal control and video tilt and pan capability.

The second is Crestwood Middle School.  This school looks like any other except that is made up of pre-fabricated classrooms and connecting spaces which are actually built off site and trucked in, craned in to position, and finished on site. This process saves significantly in both completion time and money.

Clopay Building Products

March 21, 2011

Clopay Building Products manufactures premium garage and entry doors for both the commercial and residential market.  They’ve been looking to update their portfolio of marketing images specifically in the Florida market for their Florida dealers.  So they called me to provide them just that.  They already have premium imagery on their site and in their marketing materials, so I knew the shots they would require are not going to be the run-of-the-mill garage door picture.  In our pre-shoot conversations, they mentioned ‘dramatic’ on more than one occasion. 

Ok.  You want dramtic?  I can do dramtatic… 

These images are from the first of many forthcoming shoots around Florida I’ll be doing in the near future.

I was recently contacted by James Hardie Building Products to showcase their products on KB Homes 2011 Concept home which was designed in partnership with Martha Stewart.  This home is both unique and revolutionary in that it is a ‘Net Zero’ home.  That means this home actually produces more electricity than it uses.  The home was featured in conjunction with the International Builder Show and Builder Magazine.  James Hardie supplied all of the siding and exterior trim for this project and was eager to show off their ‘HardiPlank’ in new marketing collateral.  So I spent a day photographing all of the exterior details with beautiful Central Florida weather providing a great backdrop.  Look for these images in James Hardie’s new brochures and website.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
