Motivated by thoughtfully planned and meticulously crafted outdoor environments, Chris is drawn to the intersection where form, function, and nature seamlessly act as one. Inspired by contemporary styling, he subscribes to a 'less is more' philosophy producing artful projects that not only make a statement, but once implemented, settle into place, take root, and thrive. He cognitively embraces the essence of a place and uses that ability to develop site details that contribute to a cohesive design. Creating spaces that are harmonious with the environment, Chris integrates architectural elements, grading, hardscape, planting, and lighting resulting in functional, dynamic, and balanced spaces that connect the world of nature with man-made elements and human need.
<br />RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
<br />DC Alexander Park, Fort Lauderdale, FL: DC Alexander Park in Fort Lauderdale Beach is the result of careful and thorough analysis of the site, its context - historic and present, its users, and the needs of the community. At over 1-acre in area located on Fort Lauderdale Beach adjacent to the Aquatic Center and International Swimming Hall of Fame, the project includes a signature architectural overlook and playground within a plaza complete with resilient dune plantings and carefully planned stormwater infrastructure. The team lead by KEITH analyzed shoreline habitat and behavior while considering the unknown and inevitable – sea level rise and climate change. The project is a case study in practical and creative applications of storm water mitigation practices resulting in a design that reflects and embraces the social and economic needs of the local community. This award-winning project balances 'design for people' and 'design with nature' and is a testament to the value of comprehensive research,
<br />exploration, and analysis phases. Cost: $319,761.00

<br />Pompano Beach Fire Station No. 24, Pompano Beach, FL: The City of Pompano Beach requested the replacement of the existing Pompano Beach Fire Station No. 24 located at 2001 NE 10th Street, with a new two-story, four-bay fire station. The City was so pleased with the previous work done by KEITH on Fire Station 11 that the design and development was used for Fire Station No. 103 (with site adjustments) and served as the prototype design for the proposed Fire Station No. 24 design/build. KEITH, as a subconsultant partner to Currie Sowards Aguila Architects and West Construction & Design, provided engineering design and permitting, project coordination, surveying, landscape architecture, and construction services for this project. The existing fire station was to be demolished and prepared for construction of the new station. New utilities and services, along with landscaping, 20 parking spaces, three visitor parking spaces, offices, a training room, and an exercise room on the first floor. The storm-hardened structure was designed to meet Category V storms. The station was designed to achieve a minimum LEED level of Silver Certification and the team met with the FAA consultant
<br />to finalize site and building plans to comply with FAA airspace requirements. Cost: $84,860.00
