Architectural

Mr. Parnell worked on at least twenty commercial building facilities for HagerSmith Design, a multi-disciplinary architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design firm in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, in practice since 1978. The work spanned commercial architecture and space planning — building plans, elevations, and sections, and the interior space planning that lays out tenant and occupant areas within them — together with the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire-protection design recorded under HVAC and Fire Protection. The mid-rise projects among them also gave the limited foundation exposure recorded under Foundations. A separate space-planning assignment covered a building on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, laying out the interior functional areas of an institutional building within its existing structure and systems.

For Pulte Homes, Mr. Parnell produced residential architectural work for single-family houses alongside the crawlspace and slab foundation designs recorded under Foundations — plan production for production-built homes, where the plans must be repeatable across lots while accommodating the grading, orientation, and foundation type of each site.
