    North Carolina Pilot Project Started

            Architect Jeff Scott has taken up the challenge of designing for Joseph and his family who live in Angier, NC.  On May 16, 2011, a serious car accident left Joe with a traumatic brain injury and paralysis from waist down due to a spinal cord injury. Joseph and his wife have two sons, a four year old and one year old.  His home needs an accessible bathroom, bedroom and kitchen. All the doorways have to be widened to allow him the freedom to independently perform daily tasks and spend his time with his family in a supportive environment.

    Jeffrey Scott, Assoc. AIA is of BAM Architecture Studio a firm with offices in North Carolina and New York and California www.bam-studio.com.  He has worked in the architectural profession for over ten-years.  His background in residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional building types has taught him the value of diversity in practice.  He says “ Past experiences in community design, historical renovation, and academic research have also given me the ability to expand my knowledge in alternative forms of thinking and design.  In particular, my interest in community projects at the local level has enhanced my understanding of architecture as a social art.  By enhancing quality-of-life at a small-scale through design, there is the possibility that architecture can have a subtle, yet persistent effect on people’s lives; This is a strong impetus in the way that I live and work”.
