Frank Ross Architects offers not only the latest technology, but presents its clients with a variety of tools to analyze their projects and design. The variety of services offered are Autocad drawings, Photoshop 2d renderings, Google 3d Sketchup, and photorealistic renderings of interior spaces and exterior facades, site layouts, presentations, flow charts, budgets on projects, time utilization and spreadsheets. The 3d renderings help the clients visualize their project in a unique way. Many times, a client proposes a certain defined layout, but when they can see a 3d rendering of the spaces, they often realize that they didn't visualize what the space would appear in real life. The renderings help us in relating and responding to the needs of our clients and effectively design what they ultimately wish in their project.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Sustainable buildings
require special considerations. Architects, contractors and owners are compelled to conserve our natural resources. Today’s buildings must meet the new challenges of ecofriendly design, while still meet the old challenges building program, function and aesthetics. The green movement recognizes our limited of natural resources and directs design professionals to be good stewards to our planet earth.
“...not every building can be Leed Certified; but every building can employ a level of sustainability…”
- Tanya Natale Ross
BETTER SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
This project endeavored to change the way such structures were designed and patients were treated. Two goals were set in place:
1) develop an open living area conducive to learning
2) introduce animals into the therapy, as many young patients emotionally connect to animals, and through therapy the connection with animals could be used to create an avenue to later connect with peer groups.
The second goal was not easily satisfied. A separate facility needed to be designed and constructed to accommodate the animals. The site was designed to create a small campus feel, encompassing the existing barn facility, the new Animal Facility and the Treatment and Residential Facility. The unique nature of the project, drew a wide range of interest, and benefactors. The project received financial support and funding from the United States Department of Agriculture.
CARITAS was designed for more then just a unique living and treatment experience, it was designed and detailed to meet the standards of accessible architecture. The building features several unique green strategies. It is another project in a series of green buildings, intended for real life use and educational purposes.
Sustainable design:
Cotton jeans insulation in walls
Energy Efficient glazing
Energy efficient appliances
Dual system of hydronic heating in-floor and air handlers
Low volatile paints
Locally harvested woods, certified lumbar by forest stewardship council
Fly Ash in concrete
Recycled carpet tiles
Recycled wood for furniture
Incorporated an existing building into project
Hot water runs off floor heat
Rain water for plants and landscaping
Reduced heat island effect with indigenous plants
Studies have shown that animals tend to have calming effect on children with disabilities
IMPORTANCE OF ACCESSIBILITY
We have taken great strides in achieving accessibility with existing buildings that do not easily lend to meeting the newest standards. Many projects in western PA are located on extreme grade changes, and we have managed to meet the most feasible standards. In many areas, we have even exceeded the latest requirements. When possible, we like to exceed the code requirements because the code define the minimum standards and if the project; for example, in someone's living unit, we like to exceed the standard to meet their special needs and give the most comfort since they are spending most of their time there.
