Mark Owen Pritchard Design Services South Louisiana-based Building Design and Construction Supervision Classic Building Design Since 1991.

Client-friendly design process in which asking the right questions, listening, and making recommendations based on knowledge and experience, produces exceptional results! My Philosophy:

Homes and places of business, whether modest or grand, enrich the lives of those who experience them when their design is approached as a holistic union of Art, Craft and Service. Art, because the design should be

evidence of creativity and a commitment to beauty, both inside and out. Craft, because not only the structure but the plan and elevations should be put together with a sense of proportion and order, as well as function. Service, because the act of designing should be focused on the those who will live with the end result.

Highways are often seen as symbols of efficiency and connection, designed to move people quickly from one place to another. But a new study suggests that in many cities, highways may actually be doing the opposite when it comes to human relationships.

Research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) finds that urban highways significantly reduce social connections between people who live nearby, especially within distances of less than five kilometers (or about three miles) from the highway.

The study shows that while highways can help connect people across longer distances, they often act as physical and social barriers at the neighborhood level.
