Hey people! The past week was pretty wild with the winter storm. The office lost power on the first day, and then had network issues for a few days after. Since roads were dangerous, we got a few days off. My car was frozen shut anyway, so I couldn't leave if I wanted to!

Ligularia really doesn't like the cold.
One of the magnolias at the office also lost a big chunk.


For a few weeks, I've been working on an assisted living facility up in Baltimore, for a company we've done work for in the past. The site has a huge 18' retaining wall that we're designing to make more interesting. We haven't started looking at plantings yet, but I'm excited to see what plants different from here we can use there.


I'm also looking at drawing a few concepts for a pro bono project at a park up in North Baton Rouge called Gus Young Park. It used to have a pool, which got filled in because BREC doesn't like dealing with pools. I'm still gathering info on what amenities exist at nearby parks so I can try to fill the gaps, but we're hoping to provide something that the client can use to secure some funding and gather some support to make improvements down the line.

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
