Hey guys! I'm working at Reich Associates here in BR. It's a pretty laid-back office, with a mixture of working in-office and at home. Including me, there are 6 people at Reich. A few weeks ago we started taking Fridays as half-days and adding an extra hour to the other days of the week, and we also do breakfast on Friday mornings, rotating who brings it.

Since I've been here for a little while, I'm starting to see a few projects that I worked on concepts for start getting built (mostly residential projects). I'm also starting to work on concepts for some of the larger commercial projects lately, including some assisted living facilities and schools.

I'm trying to go on site visits when I can to take some pictures, especially of the Water Campus park, because that fountain is insanely nice.

Ya'll know I'm into computers and stuff, so maybe it's not super surprising that I found myself as the go-to IT guy. So far I've set up the conference room with a wireless display adapter to make presentations easy, swapped out some noisy case fans, and today I helped Bill log in to his iCloud so he can get his site photos.


I'll add the programs I've been using too:

  • Autocad
  • Photoshop
  • InDesign
  • Sketchup
  • Lumion
  • Premiere Pro
  • MS Teams
  • lots of Spotify




Heading up to the roof to try to get some GoPro footage of construction at the Water Campus

Roof didn't work out so well, so we used the third floor


From before the weather got too cold, as part of a project around the capitol, we had to mark where the missing and blighted boxwoods are in the gardens, and note every planting that was different from the original plans from the 1930s

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.

Austin Carbo - Design Workshop - Blog #7

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
