Austin Carbo - Design Workshop - Blog 4

Hey everyone! 

(Fair warning, not much has happened since my last blog post.)

Work: 

My main focus at work has been the local Aspen residence that I have been working on. We are piecing together the final components of the construction documents to hand over to the City of Aspen to obtain permits. I have drawn SO many details for this site. For only being a 500 sq ft project, it sure as hell has been a very complex project. The spa has been the most complex component within the site. To comply with newer Aspen regulations, the spa needed to be a unit that can be dropped into the ground rather than a more typical poured in place concrete style spa. This complicated things as we had to figure out how to maintain access to the "void space" for maintenance purposes. I can not tell you the amount of times I have edited these details to this point haha. It has been interesting drawing these details as my PM has mostly been like just go for it. So it has been a LOT of researching. Luckily, Kathys class was good preparation for all these details. This Wednesday we are kicking off another large scale residential project near Jackson Hole. Looking forward to stepping away from details for a little while. 

Leisure:

Just the usually skiing on the weekends. Not much has changed with this. Improving every time. I am hoping to give snowboarding a shot before the season is over. I'll keep you all posted on that. We finally got to socialize the other week with our coworkers. We went to Aspen Tap for some drinks and pizza. We had a good time! I may have had too good of a time lol. 

Exciting news is that Maddie is flying in on Thursday! So glad to have her visit. Looks like Friday we will go skiing, and on Saturday go ice skating, tubing, and ride the mountain coaster. Other days we will plan to show her around downtown and go hiking!

Side Note:

Heres a link to the property listing for the new project I'm about to start:  https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1450-Bugling-Elk-Trl-W_Jackson_WY_83001_M86435-99203#photo0

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
