DTL = LEED Gold!
I am pleased to share the news that DTL Mori-Seki, a project we did the interiors scope for (space planning, interior architecture, design, furniture) just received LEED Gold!!! This flew under W+P’s radar because we were not the architects of record or the LEED consultants. But for those involved (Brett, Amber, me & a cast of thousands)) this is a rewarding conclusion to a project that is pretty awesome: a build-to-suite 75,000 s.f. office /...
Sneaky Dan
Its not everyday a turkey strolls by our suburban office building. This little fella caused quite the stir around here...apparently no one had ever seen a turkey before. people were glued to the windows as if there was a celebrity in the parking lot or something.-Kim...
Rebuilding Together
On Saturday, Jeff, Regina, Mary (her son and daughter) and I participated in Rebuilding Together. We all worked on a house that is in the Army Depot Redevelopment Area off of Fruitridge. The homeowner that we worked for was very nice and has lived in the house for 50 years. It has been in her family a lot longer though. The poor house was a disaster when we got there. The landscaping was overgrown, the paint on the exterior was bad, what siding there...

24 True Things that couldn’t be Truer...
1. There is a great need for a sarcasm font.2. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.3. Bad decisions make good stories.4. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?5. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.6. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.7. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work...
IIDA Golf Tournament
Brett, Greg and Robi warm up with some dance moves... Aimee Rebmann of UCF, Brian, and Amber yes, that's a pink feather boa... Another great event put on by the IIDA. The W+P contingent included Greg, Robi, Brett, Amber, Tom and Brian. There's nothing quite as humorous as watching amateur (at best) golfers chase a ball up and down mountains, in and out of trees, back into the trees and maybe make it to the green before loosing every ball in their...
