Paterson Deck - 2014

These are images from a Sketchup construction model, of a deck designed for a client's backyard garden. The deck was designed to sit on concrete pedestals over gravel fill. The pergola was designed to be supported by poured concrete piers. All of the components could be purchased at a retail store. And the deck and pergola could be constructed by the client himself, with a minimum of assistance.

Farnsworth House Diagram - 2013

The Farnsworth House was modeled in Sketchup as an exercise in illustration and analysis. Each building component was created separately, then assembled into the house. The simplicity of the Mies van der Rohe design lent itself to Sketchup, and it was interesting to see how the elements created shadows within the model.

Parkrose Middle School Addition - 2012

Hoffman Construction commissioned a Sketchup model to illustrate the site excavation work prior to the renovation of Parkrose Middle School, near Portland, OR. The model shows how the soil would be displaced to make way for new wings on the building.

Moving Van-to-Office Conversion - 2012

Hoffman Construction proposed converting a moving van into a field office. A Sketchup model was created to illustrate the possibility. The interior of the van offered just enough space for a work counter and shelving. Drawings and binders could be opened and reviewed during construction supervision.

Art Studio Addition - 2011

The client requested proposals for an art studio to be built adjacent to her home near Reed College, in Portland. Various options were illustrated using Sketchup, then presented to the City of Portland for review. The client later built her studio in the side yard, as a freestanding building.

Garage to Studio Conversion - 2010

The client asked for a proposal to convert her old detached garage into a small art studio. The garage would be cleaned, painted, and sealed.

New doors, windows, and skylights were to be added, opening directly onto the sidewalk and street.

UW Student Assembly Building - 2010

Hoffman Construction asked for an illustration to show how a new university building would fit into an existing campus. This Sketchup model shows the excavation, as well as a proposal for a five-story structure on the site. Existing trees were to be preserved as part of the strategy.

New Oregon State Hospital - 2010

This Sketchup model presents a strategy for a new mental health facility near Salem, OR. The building, parking, and access roads are shown, placed on a previously open site.

Idaho Secure Mental Health Facility - 2010

Hoffman Construction commissioned a Sketchup model to illustrate construction phasing for a new facility new Boise, ID. The model was presented as slides that showed the project in sequence. Construction staging areas were represented in the illustrations; as were new retention ponds and access roads.

New Sandy High School - 2010

This model shows the sequence of construction for the new Sandy High School. Existing trees were preserved as part of the overall planning strategy. New drainage and retention ponds were illustrated. Some of the classroom wings of the new building were constructed on piers, to minimize the building footprint within the landscape.

ODOT Headquarters Renovation - 2009

Hoffman Construction proposed a renovation and seismic upgrade to the existing headquarters of the Oregon Department of Transportation, on the capitol mall in Salem, OR.

New mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were illustrated in the color diagram. Solar panels are shown on the roof, in dark blue.

Exterior Cladding Detail - 2009

This model illustrates an exterior, insulated, stone cladding system. It presents the veneer, as well as the required stud structure behind it.

Slab Edge Detail - 2009

This was a proposal for an extension to a high-rise building floor slab. The steel braces were to continue around the perimeter of the building, on every floor, adding needed square footage to the existing floor plates.

Wyatt Federal Building

Renovation - 2009

This model showed the proposed sequence of demolition and reconstruction for a federal office building in downtown Portland, OR. The building was to be re-clad, with the addition of exterior planters to create living walls around the perimeter of the building.
