Architecture

ISLAND DESTINATION

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

ZIP LINE ATTRACTION - Wouldn't be an island experience without some zip-lining. Yee-ha! and don't look down!!

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Pool Grotto - A look into a grotto pool that has an acrylic "peek-a-boo" window into the swimming pool above. Waterfalls, good company, and spirited drinks....the way life is suppossed to be, right?

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Pool Cascades and Bali Beds - Here's a look back towards the pools, pool grotto, and the cascades. The pools are located on an existing bluff, so we took advantage of the topo. Bali beds are positioned in and around existing rock formations and overlook the ocean.

Full Size (highres_width x highres_height)

Infinity Edge at Bay - Portions of the swimming pool take advantage of the existing rock formations and topography; allowing us to create a series of cascade features and terraced pool areas. Notice how we tied contemporary design touches such as the infinity edge overlooking the bay with existing rock formations. Makes for an interesting blend of clean lines with nature.

Giang Pham Oct 12, 2011

love it, especially ur lineart :)
Paul Taylor Aug 30, 2011

DOH!?! I'm such a goober. Getting called out on the internet for not having my "likey" button on is like delivering a eulogy with your fly open. Thanks for the comments Joe, really!! Yea, hopefully these things are still standing after IRENE tore thru the islands.
Joe MacCarthy Aug 30, 2011

Nice work. I would turn your likey button on so people can like your work. Cool balance of tech and fun. I would love to hang out at this beach house with my kids!
Paul Taylor Feb 18, 2011

thanks greg! Your stuff is really cool too! How's business??
greg garrett Feb 18, 2011

great stuff, paul.
Paul Taylor Feb 18, 2011

lol!! Thanks! Sometimes I go "italic" and other times, "straight up and down". It's like Yin-Yang, Jedi vs. Sith, good Spock versus evil Spock; that kind of thing.....ha!!
Paul Taylor Feb 18, 2011

THANKS Massiel!! I'll try to update with some more new stuff here soon. The business is picking up, so I'll be able to post some more soon.
MASSIEL MEJÍA Feb 17, 2011

You definetely have a gift... just look at your handwriting... wow!
MASSIEL MEJÍA Feb 17, 2011

OMG! In love with your drawings! Amazing work!
Paul Taylor Nov 09, 2010

Thanks Michael! I'll see what I can do about a zoomed in version.
Michael Salvador Nov 09, 2010

Informative, technical, but still fun. You struck a great balance here. Well done! (Can we get a zoomed-in version of this drawing? Im really curious on the details of drawing :) )
Paul Taylor Oct 10, 2010

Thanks Bjorn!! I like my characters to have a good time.
Björn Kemper Oct 10, 2010

I still think you draw the most fun people!
Paul Taylor Apr 22, 2010

Not all that bad. Was a quick idea sketch, so I got to do anything I wanted. No set-ups, no massing models. It was a "just draw something". The rays of light were just white colored pencil over a marker colored black & white.
Licio da Rocha Sales Apr 22, 2010

hard work!
Paul Taylor Feb 05, 2010

Thanks Mark! Yea, there's a lot going on in that drawing.
Mark Curtis Josem Feb 05, 2010

Like this very much. So happening.
Paul Taylor Jan 12, 2010

or check any baggage....that's the best way to travel. Thanks!!!
Joanna Nazimek Jan 07, 2010

Reminds me of my bungalo in Fiji... very nice! And you didn't even have to pay for the plane ticket!
Paul Taylor Nov 17, 2009

Thanks!! No, this took about 2.5 hours. It's just 11x17 and there was really no direction. Just come up with something. Looks like a set piece from LOST.
LINDSAY MARINO Nov 17, 2009

That is inspiring Paul. Must have taken an immense amount of time!
Paul Taylor Nov 16, 2009

Thanks Emeric!!
Emeric de Meyer Nov 16, 2009

liked it to bro!
Nga Pham Nov 13, 2009

I usually feel a crushing sense of anxiety whenever I think about the design consulting practice, mostly out of the fact that I'm a hard core public-transportation advocate...
Nga Pham Nov 13, 2009

My workload for the consulting sector is not really happening, mostly I havent marketed myself (since I have a few more months money to tide me over)... I am in the stages of soft-launching http://expoful.com, its my baby actually. It'll be the next amazon of the the event design assets ;) Do you market to architects as a consultant or do you work in-house at a large firm?
Paul Taylor Nov 12, 2009

Funny you should ask......I'm working on an "entourage" type booklet now! Wow! Workshops?? It might turn into more of like a stand-up routine. Thanks for the compliments. How's your workload during these tough times??
Nga Pham Nov 12, 2009

Yes Paul I agree that sketchup is a PITA. Yeah your massing skills are really nice and in harmony. I love how your work focuses on walkability and leisure. You otta do workshops sorta like Mike Lin but with a lot more personality. Do you have a book of the little architectural people? That would be so great if you published them with little personality quirk descriptions.
Paul Taylor Nov 11, 2009

Thanks N. Pham! No more grids for me. I finally just let go and take a "don't care" attitude; and surprisingly, that's when my best stuff comes out! I do use SketchUp some times, but find it slows me down a lot. I'll get too dependent on it. Most of the sketches I do are on the front end, nothing has been figured out--so I'm not rendering a piece of architecture. I'm just throwing out spatial ideas and see what sticks. Now, let me check out your link.....
Nga Pham Nov 11, 2009

btw you have hella mad hatching and stippling skills!
Nga Pham Nov 11, 2009

Do you mass things out in 3D or using a model first or do you still rock the 2 or 3 point perspective grids?
Nga Pham Nov 11, 2009

Haha so am I! Well I only deducted it from your ASLA affilliation. Well your work is more in the realms of urban design and massing than it is in the planting design. Here's some of my landscape works http://www.phamiliar.com/scene/portfolio#ext
Paul Taylor Nov 11, 2009

Yea, afraid to say it, but ye, I am a landscape architect by training. Is it showing??
Nga Pham Nov 11, 2009

I love the your architecture peeps they're so cute. Are you a landscape architect by training?
Paul Taylor Nov 10, 2009

Thanks Eric! Yea, I'd like to do a children's book, too. If you know anyone who needs one done, I'll draw for food. HA!
Eric Williams Nov 10, 2009

I like your technique. Architectural and yet playful. Could do children's book as well...or maybe you do. Good job!
