Turtle Bay Amphitheatre

Turtle Bay Amphitheatre

Challenged to create adequate shade for an existing outdoor amphitheatre at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park without obscuring existing views within this natural setting, our solution was to design a series of canvas “louvers” suspended between thin structural piers. These louvered panels were angled to best protect the audience from the host summer sun, while allowing [...]

McConnell Maintenance Facility

In order to minimize the impact of the 18,000 square foot building on the adjacent neighborhood, this concreate and steel structure was designed to be cut deeply into the existing slope. An adjustable canvas and steel shade canopy was inserted along the street frontage to counter the typical image of a maintenance building.

Mayor’s Memorial Plaza

McConnell Arboretum

How does an architect end up designing a garden?
We like to think in this case it’s because we are “generalist” architects who are viewed more as problem-solvers than specialists in any one type of design.  Our task with this project was to help with the realization of the long time dream of a dedicated group of  local garden enthusiasts.  The concept for [...]

For our part, Trilogy accepted the challenge of designing a home that was not only the most affordable possible, [...]

The Carnegie Stage in Library Park

The Carnegie Library first opened in 1903, only to be torn down in 1962 to make room for a parking lot. Built mostly by volunteers, the steel, canvas and glass block structure known as the Carnegie Stage was designed as an abstract reminder to the memory of the historic library on whose site it now [...]

The Cascade Theatre

The Cascade Theatre

An important piece of Redding’s heritage, this 1935 Art Deco style movie theatre was purchasd in 1999 with the intention that it be completely restored for use as 1000 seat performing arts venue. That required a balance between historical restoration and the performance requirements necessary in the 21st century. The result combines elements such as [...]
