 First Week in the Office

This past week our office went back to the office for the first time since I've been working there. The office has been available to anybody that wanted to go in but no one was really going in unless they needed to. Everybody in the office has been vaccinated and two weeks beyond their second shot or whatever, it's just kind of weird to be around people again. Apparently, every Monday Dana treats everyone to lunch, so that's a nice treat. I actually got less work done this week than in the past weeks because there were a lot more interruptions. It was nice when I had a question to be able to walk to someone's desk and just get an answer but having to put real clothes on is kind of bullshit. The biggest downside is that because I don't want to work so late at the office I actually had to work a full day on Friday instead of working longer days early in the week and taking off early on Friday. 

I wasn't planning on staying on after this month, but Dana asked me if I could keep working. She has agreed to work around my schedule and taking care of Luca. So it looks like I'll be staying on through the summer, maybe during the school year too, who knows. Y'all have a great summer. See y'all in August.

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
