Mark is an excellent construction technician.  His duties include research and development of building systems, and their incorporation into our work.  He has a remarkable graphic sense which leads to very clear and understandable construction documents.   This talent, in turn, leads to fewer problems in the field.  He aids greatly in the development of project standards, computer and graphics standards, and networking architecture.

Mark is a focused, detail-oriented, and well-organized project manager, so he is capable of handling several complex projects at once.  He is accomplished in both the field and the office as a construction administrator.   He gives exacting reviews of submittals for products and assemblies. Because of his careful review of construction in-house and on the job, countless contractor errors have been prevented or mitigated in time.   He is timely in his responses when  questions arise,  and he works well with the men in the field.

He has worked with Mr. Anderson since 1993, and made the move with him to Anderson Architecture.

Mollie graduated from S.C.A.D. with a major in interior design and a minor in architecture. She has worked in several internships in both interior design and architecture firms before coming to Anderson Architecture in early 2006, and her skills clearly bridge both disciplines.

Mollie has worked on a variety of projects ranging from assisted care facilities to commercial up-fits and religious spaces, and from high-end residential to mixed-use, multi-family projects.   While much of her commercial work has focused on the challenge of using design to boost morale and productivity, she has an uncanny grasp of the subtleties required for quality residential architecture. With us, she has honed her natural grasp of construction to help administer projects as large as $12.5 million.

Not only does she select color schemes, plan interior spaces, and perform design documentation tasks,   she also uses her  significant and varied computer skills to create most of our three-dimensional models, which our clients often use in their marketing materials and on their websites.  She brings a highly motivated and energetic presence to any project she touches.

NC State University

Calvin studied at the North Carolina State University School of Architecture when it was run by the inimitable Henry Kamphoefner. He was one of the founding members of the well-known Sandhills firm of Hayes-Howell, PA.  He has been a part of Anderson Architecture since 2005.

Over his long career, Calvin was a specialist with the enormous variety and array of technical and legal documents one encounters in architectural practice.  His expertise in thermal and moisture intrusion prevention principles and techniques is highly regarded.  He champions a rigorous approach to detailing that makes a tremendous difference to a building’s longevity.  There aren’t many project types he hasn’t worked on.

Calvin has cut back his involvement to part-time, but is still in our office at least once a week, depending on his work load.  Among his typical responsibilities, he is in charge of all the renovation work at the Penick Village in Southern Pines.  His knowledge and gentlemanly manners have made him a favorite of contractors, consultants, and clients for many years.

Maury joined Robert’s previous firm in 1993, when he relocated from New York, where he had his own firm for many years.  His projects in New York were mostly large-scale government, educational, and medical, so he brought much valuable experience to the Sandhills.

He came to Anderson Architecture in 2005 as a consultant, exclusively serving our firm with his architectural skills.  His ability to ascertain the probable bid price of a project is remarkable, and he has often predicted the bids within less than half a percent.  Maury’s strong experience with product and system specification is also very helpful, and he often provides us with the first draft of a spec for the project architect to refine.  Owning his own firm for many years has afforded him great judgment regarding product reliability and a construction method’s applicability to a given situation.  We deeply appreciate his continued participation.

As evidence for her remarkable determination and focus, Katie made time during her undergraduate years to work an internship in Florida, gaining for herself valuable ground-level professional experience before she even graduated. Before coming to our firm in mid-2007 Katie further built her experience in the widely varied practice of an Indiana-based, award-winning firm.  She is committed to design that is well-founded in her common-sense personality.  While she demonstrates a keen and persistent aesthetic sensibility, her innovations bring logic, clarity, and simplicity to some of our most challenging details.

Katie has contributed a great set of skills and wonderful sense of quality to our efforts.  She understands the importance of research-based design, and she provides consistently well thought- out work to our projects.  Katie always looks for the “craft” in the details.

Her varied skills have produced for us graphic presentations, three-dimensional models, and construction documents.

Stacy joined our firm in early 2007.  She is the first person most people talk to when they call our office.  Her work history includes administrative duties for construction companies, surveyors, engineers, and attorneys.  She is responsible for office management, bookkeeping, and the day-to day running of the office.  Her organizational talents and skills have contributed amazing support to all the techinical staff.  Her documentation of the many complex components of all the project phases has been exemplary.  Her presence helps ensure that we always put our best foot forward.
