Hope everyone is safe in these "special times" as Haoming said,

Work was pretty slow today so my supervisor had me make research study models in SketchUp. Basically, these models are to serve as standard yield summaries for narrow lot single-family homes in Breckenridge, CO. I'm finding that the more I learn about community planning strategies and design it's starting to enhance/change how I look at space now. Not really much else to talk about but below are some quick videos of me working in Sketchup. I've also convinced the planning department to let me make more 3D models for our developments and it is helping the other designers and clients understand the space of the massive developments. If anyone is familiar with pangeaexpress on Instagram he posts videos like this (a lot better though lol) but he inspired me to start making more of these and share them. Gonna try and do screen recordings next. I hope yall enjoy!

      For this on the "block" is 150' x 80' so its really to see how the lots would look like in space not just plan or section with the sidewalk, road and neighbors. So with the design we could take these yield blocks and place them around the development to get idea of the overall yield of housing for the project.

Lately we've been working mostly on a couple of residential projects. One of them is for a local radio guy, which is pretty interesting. Part of the program is going to be an outdoor recording setup, so we need to deal with noise. I also got to put together a short video for the office Instagram of the concept process.   Other than the residential projects, we've also been redecorating the conference room. We're using professional photos taken after some big projects finished up and hanging them to showcase the office's work. We're doing it mostly DIY, and hanging them on these vertical mounts.

Happy May y'all! Not too much has changed since my last post, but there are a few interesting things.  Work:  The project Bosshard Ranch is still on hold by the client, so nothing new to report there. My main focus has been on the  Bear Island project. I finished up the site analysis and now I am working on the illustrative plans for the project. We haven't finalized a design yet, but since Mike thinks this will be a project to submit for an ASLA award I just finished making an illustrative plan for the existing conditions. I haven't done a full illustrative plan at DW up until now so this has been a great learning experience.  I recently got put on a new project for 3 Creek Ranch Clubhouse. It is a country club out in Jackson, WY. That makes it now my third project out in the area. We are once again working with Prospect architects to redo a part of the clubhouse and pool area. Basically all I have done up until this point is create the CAD base for the project. Hopefully

Kaylin Wilson’s Viewport - First Week

Greetings, Houston is lovely. I really am shocked that I like this city as much as I do. I love the area I’m living in. OJB is nice and the workload the first day compared to the second week is night and day. The first day was really nerve wracking and slow, but now it’s fast paced and busy busy. My coworkers took me out to lunch the first week, such angels. I am the only intern, and have decided to make a file for future interns so they won’t go through what I went through. I just think that would be helpful in the future. Doing a lot of work with VectorWorks and LandFX right now. Sometimes I ride the bus to work, but the drive is only 9 minutes away. Making a ton of new friends! Jk, I have no social life but I am staying busy becuase Houston has a ton of stuff going on. Went to a vegan festival last week, and TWO EDM concerts. Saw KSHMR (10/10) performance absolutely a must see, and KASKADE... eh I would give him a 6.8/10.. Shocking I know. I got a few plants for my apartment and o
