Vintage Township: ID 3311 Field Trip

We took a trip to the past at Vintage Township!

Students learned about traditional neighborhood

communities and future development plans.

Megan, Megan, and Megan enjoyed the tour...

....so did Paige and Page!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Students also learned about the "downtown" phase

 of the development to soon break ground.

Parkhill, Smith, and Cooper Field Trip - ID 3311

We toured the first LEED certified building on the South Plains -

Offices of Parkhill, Smith, and Cooper.

Interior Designer, John DuBard, was our guide and spoke

about LEED and nonresidential material selection.

We love the fresh air at PSC!

We learned about the green roof on the building.

The tour included visiting the studio space of the interior designers,

architects, landscape architects, and engineers.

An unofficial field trip to Einstein's Bagels followed the visit to PSC!

Jeff Seal Homes of Distinction - ID 3311 Field Trip

We don't feel like we are in Lubbock anymore - a trip to Provence!

                    

The slate roof was one of the unusual exterior materials we saw.

We had the opportunity to tour a home under construction

as well as one finished and staged.

Jeff Seal discussed the "old world" construction techniques and

finishes he uses such as plaster walls and real wood plank floors

that are hand-scraped and finished on site. He also finds a

variety of interior and exterior applications for antique brick.

Every outdoor living space needs a fireplace.

Beautiful ceilings... beautiful ceilings....beautiful

The safe room in this home was a popular feature.

Refrigerators that look like armoires are common in Jeff Seal's homes.

This kitchen would awaken the inner chef in anyone.

Jamie and Abby are interior designers employed by Jeff Seal,

and both are graduates of the interior design program at Texas Tech.

Any guest would feel pampered in this bathroom.

Abby confesses to being a bit over-budget on this bedroom chandelier!

IIDA/ASID November Meeting

Field Trip to Leftwich Chapman Floors: ID 3311 Materials

Larry Leftwich guided us through the latest flooring products.

Leather flooring from recycled handbags - a favorite!

So was the cork flooring.

Cool tile and cool shoes.

Luxury vinyl floors? Yes - and they are good-looking and long-lasting!

Exotic woods are a popular choice.

We looooooooove learning about materials!
