NEVADA AIA DESIGN AWARDS 2003 UNBUILT CATEGORY Entry Number: UB03006 Project Name: Aquila Che Salire / Passalalpi Residence Project Address: 40 Pronghorn Crt., Reno NV Building Type: RESIDENTIAL Completion Date: Start of construction September 2003
Design Team Architect: J.L.S. Design - Joel L Sherman Client/Owner/Developer: Dario Michael Passalalpi General Contractor: DMP Contractors - Dario Michael Passalalpi Interior Designer: J.L.S. Design - Joel L Sherman Landscape Architect: J.L.S. Design - Joel L Sherman Mechanical Engineer: Woods Energy Consultants - Clement Woods Photographer: J.L.S. Design - Joel L Sherman Structural Engineer: Gabbart & Woods Structural Engineers - Louis Woods Design Approach: The steep uphill nature of the lot plus the design transitions from a very entrenched and grounded design on south elevation to a floating north elevation gives the building the illusion of launching itself into the updrafts of the hillside. Its form and function result from the owner's desire to infuse a level of organic integrity into the property.
