PORTFOLIO

Residential, Small Businesses



​Hexagon house, 3 bedroom with elevated floor.  Open kitchen/living space, merges with outside deck.  Radial plumbing and electrical for simple installation and renovation.



​Simple steel-framed 3 bedroom house design, with elevated floor and open kitchen/living space


​Three story commercial space on constrained lot with high slopes.


​New interior layout for conventional "Tico" square house design


​Automated hydroponic greenhouse, with central water/nutrient system, PV electrical and inline harvesting system

Machines



​Electric Cruiser
The next iteration of the electric Rebel, based on the Honda Fury, and packed to the hilt with batteries
Waste-to-Energy
​Municipal-scale composting facility driving wind energy.  Composting heats the air, which rises by chimney-effect up a central tower made of structural fabric.  Direct-drive wind turbines at the air inlets produce electrical power from the resulting flow.

​"Stealth" Home Turbine

A novel wind turbine design from Alan Tratner, for attic placement in residential houses.  This model is a scaled test version for use in a wind tunnel


​Stealth Mini
A smaller version with wind tunnel design, for aerodynamic evaluation
