I have learned a lot during my time at CKA Architects. I acted as a Project Manager for a few projects, and jumped in to help draw/draft/3D model projects as needed. Since this was a smaller sized firm, everyone had to handle their own projects for the most part, so I was in charge of managing a couple of the projects that I was on. Two projects that I am proud of are two houses (explained in more detail below). They are similar in scope - two-story houses with basements and attached ADUs. While I did not design these projects, I drew up the entire CD set by myself, under the direction of the head architect, Chris. My biggest take-away from my experience at CKA Architects is understanding the process of getting a project designed and built. Being able to see the permitting process first-hand while studying for the CSE was super beneficial to my learning and I feel a lot more confident now than I did before I worked here. I also received a lot of mentoring from Chris, Emilie, and Travis during my time at CKA, and that has been truly invaluable. Shown below are some renderings of three houses that I modeled and detailed in Vectorworks. I drew up the entitlement package for the house in the middle, which included site plans, plans, elevations, and sections.
