JDavis Architects undertakes the design of projects that do not always fall into our usual sphere of expertise. We accept these commissions because they challenge the creative energy of our firm and often make a positive difference in the life of our community.

The Woodside Mill is a National Register property located in Greenville, South Carolina, and is currently under rehabilitation into an adaptive mixed use project.  The project will restore the original character of the building and at the same time incorporate a modern approach to sustainable design, energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.  The project will provide 170 dwelling units, restaurant/retail services, artist studios, and office space.  The project is located in the historic Woodside neighborhood, immediately west of Downtown Greenville.

Hog Island is a remote island located in the Core Sound of North Carolina and has no access to the public utility infrastructure. Our design objective is to achieve LEED Platinum certification. Through the restoration of the duck lodge and its surroundings this “off-grid” project incorporates updated systems which were designed to maximize the natural opportunities in energy production and sustainability as well as be augmented with environmentally conscious elements. The integrity of the existing historical duck lodge structure is designed to be maintained while the new technologies are integrated into the building. Seasonal use by two separate organizations demanded systems be designed to perform at opposite ends of the spectrum in the Summer and Winter. Maritime forest restoration, shoreline management approaches and LID stromwater features were part of the design approach.
The Residential Training Center at the North Carolina Zoological Park is primarily intended to serve visiting scholars and zoological field experts by providing conference, support and housing facilities for short to medium term tenures.
