Cooper at Work

May8

I was recently talking to a client of mine and she mentioned that my dog, Cooper, is on Angie’s List.  I had submitted a photo of him to Angie’s List for their pet issue in early 2009 but never heard back from them.  Little did I know he’s been making the rounds on their website and in their newsletters!

I feel pretty fortunate to be able to bring my dog to work with me.  He does put in long hours when I have to work late, and he ‘helps out’ whenever possible.  Here is an short slide show of a typical day for Cooper.

Living Montessori Academy

May5

We’ve been working hard on our largest commercial project yet: a 24,323 SF tenant improvement project in Bellevue, Washington for a new Montessori school.  We’re on an extremely tight schedule since we need to open for the beginning of the school year in September.

We designed the project completely in Revit (a 3D BIM program by Autodesk).  This is our largest project yet done in Revit and it went pretty smoothly.

The project also includes a new playground and outdoor classroom area.  The playground incorporates outdoor learning opportunities such as organic gardening, a sound garden, and areas for kids to put on presentations (like ‘music in the park’).
