Have you ever had that one particular place that you always wished you could go back too? That one place you could see yourself spending the rest of your life at? That one place that you could visit over and over and never get sick of? I'm pretty sure most of the architects I know …
Underhanded Evil Schemes
So, another #ArchiTalks post is upon us, and Bob has definitely picked a doozy this time. 'Crafty' Really?!? Crafty?!? For the past couple of weeks I have been racking my brain about this one and what keeps popping into my head, thanks a lot Bob, is Martha Stewert. So I decided to try a different …
Architecture in the Real World
This is my second post in the ArchiTalks series. If you are unfamiliar, it is a series of posts by different architects all revolving around a single topic. Today's topic... Architecture in the real world. Wow, talk about a rabbit hole. At the bottom of the page, you'll find links to all of the others …
You look like…
When I wake up in the morning and get ready for the day, there are usually a few moments I look in the mirror and make sure I am at least presentable for the day ahead. With two daughters to help get ready as well, those moments have become fewer and fewer. Typically nothing I …
Happy New Year
For the new year, I thought I would do a quick post and a quick sketch to go along with it. I'm going a little old school and trying my hand at a linear perspective, in this case a two point perspective. In case you don't know (I'm sure most of you do) or in …

Everyday Tools
Last week I got into an argument discussion over what tools an architect uses to actually design with. I sit in the camp that every tool that an architect uses in their professional activities is an instrument that can be used for design. What really surprises me, is how many still think that design really …
Out and About
When I recently started my new position, one of the perks that came along with it was being able to work in downtown. I usually get to explore for a few minutes before or after work, and sometimes at lunch. Lately I've started taking even more pictures as I peruse my way around. Can you …
It’s the little things
When you're working on an architectural project, you have a lot of balls in the air. Quite a few of them are really, really important. Structure, HVAC, layout, etc. Sometimes though, one of the smaller balls drops and you might have never even noticed it. When I was a fresh intern working on not much …
Day-tripping. Architectural style
It was an interesting day to say the least. A few days ago I took a site visit to a new project we are working on, pretty normal right, only difference this time, was the project is about 275 miles away. It started out with an early morning commute to Love Field, ooof, Dallas. That …
