Architecture as a Passion

Most of the time we think of architecture as a mechanical process that makes sure building stand up straight and work well.

It is more than that.  A lot more.

"Designing a building involves integrating form and function," Kevin Wallace said.  Kevin is the chief architect and COO of Sykes Construction/SCI Design.  "And these days, it also involves the inclusion of 'green' features and needs as well."

You also have to design something that can be built.  That's why the team of a construction company (general contractor) and an architect is ideal.  Choosing materials that fit the design and then creating a passable (from an inspection standpoint) structure complete the challenge.

There is also the aesthetic piece of the puzzle.

"Spaces that are inviting and comfortable make people more productive and happy," Kevin continued.  "No matter how you look at it, this is a multi-faceted process."

"From the time I was a kid and making my first sketches," Kevin said,"making spaces that people can use AND like has always been a goal. My passion for the work as an art has always driven me to see the finished product."
