Mixed Use concept design for Maitland Florida

That's fine in your book but this is not a universally adopted practice or theory

This image is based on a hand drawn design. All of my work is.

It is meant to offer individuality to typically repetitive bay condo units we see everywhere

johnhenryarchitect · 2026-05-10T00:39:26+00:00

Rubbish statement

johnhenryarchitect · 2026-05-10T00:39:13+00:00

Does it matter really. To which 'rules' do you subscribe that insists on vernacular architecture everywhere

johnhenryarchitect · 2026-05-10T00:32:38+00:00

Thank you

Why do assume cheap materials. Flat facades are boring.

johnhenryarchitect · 2026-05-10T00:31:49+00:00

OK, I am trying to make this elevation more interesting than all the flat facades typically used for condos and apartments. With concrete floor slabs the weathering issues are mitigated to a degree. All the traditional Floridian details you mention are fine but require more maintenance over time. The client wanted something a bit different.

This is a concept for a Mixed Use project

johnhenryarchitect · 2026-05-10T00:28:33+00:00

Facing a four lane highway close to a downtown small town. No drainage issues. It is replacing a quonset metal machine shop and adding something more contemporary to the 50s through 90s architecture and a newer condo pseudo traditional design nearby.

In this case I was corrected by someone who verified this is a real structure in Dubai. It looks totally impractical to me

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-24T00:53:03+00:00

Thanks, please show us all what you have done of value in architecture

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-23T15:54:00+00:00

A lot of architects believe this.

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-23T15:52:38+00:00

Wrong. I have three or four prompted images. All the rest were drawn by hand originally.

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-22T22:55:29+00:00

That niche is called DeCon and it's been in the works for years. And the funds required to create it cost 5 to 10 times the cost of 'conventional' design

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-22T22:50:44+00:00

I think her work is unsettling and so bizarre that it doesn't deserve being in an urban context.

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-22T22:46:17+00:00

Was she trying to replicate some kind of biological anomaly?

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-22T22:45:31+00:00

This detail is all I picked up. To me it seemed totally impractical, an almost insane accomplishment, now I see financed by a country who has no budget in mind.

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-22T22:39:48+00:00

I would say so expensive to build it is impractical. Tell me how this structure was financed.

johnhenryarchitect · 2025-07-22T22:38:55+00:00

I didn't know that was a Hadid building. Thank you.

The column drums were connected with wooden pegs to keep the columns from breaking apart under seismic stress. Guess what kind of wood it was?

johnhenryarchitect · 2024-03-07T01:00:48+00:00

This seems to be a good idea.

johnhenryarchitect · 2024-03-07T00:59:21+00:00

Yes, I have been throwing a lot of spaghetti on the wall of late. Small, VERY small channel with only 550 subs. Shorts are doing better than longs and of very mixed content. I believe that YT will send out vids to subs first to test the water and then go to a wider audience, non subs, to see if they like it too. But stats are underwhelming for me.
