Daly Sublette New Orleans, Avery

 hey whats up guys,

i am interning at Daly Sublette in New Orleans. it s a Design Build Firm that mostly does residential work.


It is a very New Orleans company, every body who works there is from new orleans and it it pretty well known through-out new orleans.  My dentist told me about the company (W networking?). the style of the design is also very new orleans, its aligns more closely with traditional style, but we do some more modern work. 


it been nice being close with friends and family in new orleans, all though i did want to get out of the state for my internship. 

i dont see myself working here longterm. this isnt really what got me into landscape architecture. Most of our project are pretty materialistic and wasteful, its mostly rich people building elaborate estates because they want to, and i also dont really like the style of our design, dont get me wrong we do very good work that looks great, but im not a big fan of tradtional style because ive seen this style amillion times, i like more unique creative things.  i am still enjoying it so far.

the company is kind of small. there are only about 4 people that im talking to consistently everyday. the lead designer that i am going to the most with questions has such bad breath i actually has to take a step back when im talkng to him(ew, stinky). everyone is super chill and laid back. 

ive been going to sites and making base maps from scratch or not from scratch if there are documents from engineers or architects. yesterday i started making a planting design for a small residential garden. ive been working about 9-5 monday- friday. but i was leaving early last week since is was mardi gras. they stay pretty busy in the office there a healthy amount of work yet its still feels pretty relaxed. im taking off next monday because im going to portland for the weekend. (let me know if you have any good travel recommendations)



out side of work ive been working out at the park, and taking care of animals and making terrariums for them. look at this paludarium(half aquarium, half terrarium) i made (wow very cool).

I guess I'll be brave for once and post first lol. I also have nothing to do right now and everyone around me are in meetings I wasn't invited to 😞. I started at OJB early last month, January 12, as I imagine a lot of y'all have as well. My first couple days consisted of onboarding paperwork, software setup, and getting to meet the rest of the team. Chandler, my desk buddy and the main guy who finds me things to do, had me update some rhino models and Lumion renderings to begin with. The highlight of my first week though had to be making it onto the website. I felt way too proud of that. You gotta scroll all the way down to the bottom to find me 😂.  I began some real work doing grading studies for a clock/art installation/stage/tower/overlook over at the University of Houston. Thank God for Hayden or else I would've embarrassed myself for not knowing basic grading 👀. I modeled the thing like 15 different times as the team tried out new ideas of how to fit it into the...

Hey guys! Hope all is well at school or on your internships! Some background about where I am working for the currently, Wenk is a landscape architecture office based in Denver that works on a huge range of projects, from more urban park spaces to campus planning and tons of wetland restoration. So far, I’ve been lucky enough to work on six different projects, which has made every day feel different and exciting. A big chunk of my time has been spent on two master plan renderings. I have also been working on a community outreach presentation for a local park 2 mins from my house! Looking forward to drawing concepts this  upcoming Friday ! They’ve been both tedious and oddly relaxing at the same time. During my first week, I also got to go on a couple of site visits, which was a great way to dive in. The first visit focused on tree mitigation, where we marked which trees were being removed for a future trail and documented their condition. The next site visit was at CU Boulder’s sop...

Had to work on Sunday and Monday to push deadlines but I'm getting comp time for it thou so all good. Deadline was due on Wednesday so pushed that and did some graphics for the competition, got it done Wednesday afternoon, got Friday off and only worked Thursday half day on finishing and cleaning up boards and graphics.    Got to reunion with Yanchi on the weekend. Wonderful city, loving it, food is to kill for, and commute is decently easy without a car, miss my cats but life been good.
