Meet Brian...

Brian Sykes joins The Road To Refresh team from Washington, DC as an architectural consultant. So, for the most part, all of the polished renderings, section drawings, elevation drawings and floor plans we post here from this point on will be compliments of Mr. Sykes' diligence.

Like most of the people who have teamed with parProjects for this venture, Brian is a bit of a rare breed. We say that because unlike most in the field of architecture, he holds master-level degrees in both fine arts -- where he focussed in sculpture -- and architecture -- where he dedicated a great deal of energy toward sustainable design and interiors  ...from The University of Maryland, College Park (where we first met him circa 2005) and Virginia Tech respectively.

To say the least, Brian's enthusiasm and dedication to the project are greatly appreciated. But more importantly, his creative approaches to architecture have already started influencing our center's original design. For example, the tented area that first showed up on THIS POST (link) was compliments of Brian and his creative problem solving.

Like everyone else on the team, we trust him to make certain judgements; and in turn, he trusts us to keep the ball rolling. He's a good friend and dedicated teammate who is donating countless hours of his personal-time (away from the internationally recognized architecture firm he currently works for) in order to help make this project happen. He believes this a great project/idea ...and we believe he'll continue doing everything within his power to help see it to fruition.

Thanks again,
