Hey guys,

I have been working remotely from Colorado Springs since last Monday. Right now, the Aspen office plans to stay closed until April 17th - yikes. I decided to take my desktop and supplies to Colorado Springs in order to stay with my older brother, Jack. I think I would have gone insane being alone in my apartment in the valley all this time! It is definitely a weird transition, but I still have lots of work to do and have been keeping myself busy. For the past week I have been creating a schematic design package for a residential project in Aspen. I have been making analysis diagrams, collecting character imagery, and rendering an illustrative plan. It has been difficult doing this remotely, I think it probably would have taken less time if we could review progress in person instead of just sending email updates. What are the challenges that you all face when working from home?

The illustrative plan I've been working on





Outside of work and "quarantining" my brother and I have been going on regular hikes to get fresh air and get out of the house. Other than that we've been grocery shopping, thrifting, and venturing out for take out. Really thrilling stuff. My brother is working from home also, so we both have a lot of meetings and calls during the day. He has also been day trading, working out at his base's gym, and playing lots of video games. We started watching Tiger King on Netflix last night, I highly recommend if you're bored and like ridiculous documentaries. What have y'all been doing during social distancing/quarantine time?





I am hoping that everything goes back to normal soon! I think the weekend that all the bars and restaurants open back up is going to be so much fun! I am looking forward to that. I hope all of y'all are staying safe, healthy, and sane during this bizarre time!

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
