Saint Paul Lutheran Church

Work was done to an existing church built in 1960. The project began as renovation with an office and classroom addition, yet as the funding situation became realized it was decided focus on building renovation now and construct the addition in a second phase. The chancel was changed to a stage-like configuration, and the sanctuary was modified to better engage the side aisles, including two small angled expansions to unify these with the main sanctuary. ADA compliance of the lower level was a priority so an addition to accommodate an elevator was economically constructed. Phase two will wrap around this and create a scenic courtyard visible from a new fellowship hall.

Zoo Gate • Michigan City, Indiana

A challenge of this small town zoo is to not be

overlooked by zoo patrons with options in nearby

Chicago and South Bend. Run by the Michigan City

Parks Department the project intent was to better

define the zoo entrance, and move it from a

crossing at a curve in the road where it was hard to

see pedestrians. Timothy Berneche worked with

Landscape Architect Jeff Bolinger, also with Fanning

Howey, to create a solution that integrated

architecture with landscape to create a strong sense

of place, with a trellis angled to match the corner

tower of the building. The building was an addition

to an existing animal diet kitchen. Our building

picked up on some of the language but utilized pre-

colored masonry to reduce long term building

maintenance. Timothy Berneche is the licensed

architect of record. Completed 2005. Contractor:

Gariup Construction; Gary, Indiana. Cost:

$500,000.00 with landscaping

Residential Addition and Renovation

The owner is a contractor who originally built this as a spec home to sell, then decided to buy it himself. He consulted us to look at ideas on the following issues:

• Three-car garage addition situated at an angle to the house

• Turn existing garage into a family room • Reconfigure the Master Suite • Expand Dining Room and Kitchen • Create a Unique Porch

One challenge with the angled garage addition was in getting the hip roofs to work on a wing at an angle to the house; the solution was to create two Boston Gables with dormer windows at the intersection of roofs. The kitchen was reconfigured to become an activity center between the family room and dining room. A barrel vault in the porch will continue as a vaulted ceiling into the house. Interiors and colors by The Plaid Rabbit, Michigan City.

 Designing a house for three families can potentially be  a  very  frustrating  challenge;  fortunately  the construction manager  set ground  rules  that made the process go exceptionally smoothly.    It was not fully  without  its  challenges,  the  main  one  being that  the  clients wanted  five  bedrooms  all  on  the upper  level.    This  pushed  the  total  area  of  the house to just under 9,000 square feet, up from the 6,000 square  feet  in earlier designs but  it did give the clients the facility they really wanted.    The site is on Lake Michigan with views of Chicago on clear days.  Two of the families wanted arts and crafts  look  while  third  emphasized  unobstructed views of the  lake.   For the Living and Dining Room we utilized Nanawall operable curtain wall systems which allow these walls to  literally open up to the lake.      The  kitchen  is  angled  toward  Chicago  for views and to reduce floor area on main and  lower levels.  The lower level features a steam room and shower facilities for the pool outside.   A bar greets one at the  bottom  of  the  stairs.    This  level  is  primarily entertaining areas off the beach access.  The  front  entrance  is  a  barrel  vault  for  clear definition.  The lake façade roof is punctuated with dormers which give allusion to the sailboats on the lake.  Developer: Duneland Fine Homes, Mich. City, IN. Structural Eng.: Andersen‐Fiene LTD, Glen Ellyn, IL. Interior Design: The Plaid Rabbit, Mich. City, IN.

Lakeside Residence in LaPorte, Indiana

The owner bought a set of house plans and had us modify to include stone and shingle veneer, and to turn the small scale dinette and screened porch into a formal dining room and three seasons room angled to match the master bedroom wing. The kitchen was reconfigured as part of the dining room redesign. We designed the decks including the arched balcony framing views from the family room and patio. A freestanding three-car garage with an upper level workshop was constructed along the street which creates a private entrance plaza. Completed 2004.

Elkhart Central Additions and Renovations

Timothy Berneche served as the Project Architect while employed at Fanning/Howey Associates, Inc., Michigan City, Indiana. The project began as a fifteen classroom addition to a 1965 building. Further design study revealed a benefit of converting the existing library into science classrooms and adding on a new library and administrative wing. New Music and Drama Classrooms were also added. The curves of the addition were done to minimize parking lost and to change the old boxy look. A curved canopy creates a strong entry, provides solar shading for library windows, and unifies the high school with a daycare wing to the north. The music/drama wing was curved to maximize available land along the curve of Blazer Boulevard. Interior work included renovation of all classrooms, overhaul of the industrial tech wing into simulation labs, and ADA compliance to all existing areas. Images: Media Center (top four), Music Rehearsal, and North Entrance / TAPP Wing. Cost: $17.5 M; The Skillman Group, Construction Manager

Avon Lake HS Additions and Renovations

Timothy Berneche served as the Project Architect while employed at Fanning/Howey Associates, Inc., Michigan City, Indiana. A unique aspect of the project was a significant addition that would connect a freestanding metal gymnasium to the main school building. Also an older field house attached to the school was demolished and replaced with a 1,000-seat auditorium with full working stage with fly loft. Significant renovation was done to most all of the existing buildings as part of the project including research and remediation of failing cavity wall construction in the 1974 addition. Coordination between the Celina, Michigan City, and an Indianapolis theater consultant offices was managed by Tim. The facility was designed to allow for extensive community use in that the commons serves as a cafeteria and rentable banquet facility. Cost: $24,000,000; Construction Time 24 months Phased, Construction Manager: Turner Construction Cleveland

Lowell HS Additions and Renovations

Timothy Berneche served as co-Project Architect, Designer, and Manager with Doug Wickstrom and Roger Hulsey at Fanning/Howey Associates, Inc., Michigan City, Indiana. The original 1969 building, innovative for its time, was an open concept school with no natural light or privacy, and was very difficult to secure after hours areas from the academic wing. Windows and skylights were a priority. There were three primary additions: auditorium and music rooms, athletic and kitchen, and industrial tech. Additions were arranged to make best utilization of newly created courtyards both to maximize interior natural light and secure outdoor academic and dining spaces. Open corridors were closed up and corridors were arranged to provide excellent after hours building security. Unique features of the project include conversion of the original shop areas into the new library, and three 70-foot translucent skylights intersecting at a pyramidal skylight. The Project has received awards from American School & University magazine and Northern Indiana AIA.
