This is by far my favorite hospital ever. Everyone calls Saint Francis the “Pink Hospital”. I find this building ironic because I was actually born in another hospital called “Saint Johns”. With that being said I still like this hospital more because of how unique its color is. I also have a personal connection to it because I had heart surgery here. Obviously I have felt all kinds of emotions in this building ranging from stress to relief. The surgery went well and I had an overall great experience at this hospital.

Reunion Tower- Being from Texas and driving through Dallas one thing that is easily recognizable is the Reunion Tower, it was built in 1978 and was built by Welton Becket. The tower is very tall and unique to the Dallas area. I had the chance once to go eat dinner in the ball of Reunion Tower which was an incredible experience as the restraunt roates in 360 degrees slowly so you canget  a complete view of the Dallas skyline at night, it was remarkable and I would highly recommend doing it one day.

I saw my first Thunder game in the Chesapeake Energy Arena. I have never been to a professional sports game before, and the Arena seemed huge to me. It was quite the experience to be apart of such a fun atmosphere like that! I got to see Russell Westbrook in person for the first time at Chesapeake. I will always remember my first Thunder game at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Nothing but good vibes with this building!

The Fairmont in Austin is a building that really caught my attention. I love admiring glass buildings that are reflective. The Fairmont is different with its light blue tint and the beautiful lights that change colors with a different theme every time you look at it. I first noticed the building earlier this year while in Austin, and it led me to research it. It’s a high-rise hotel that is very nice with a ton of amenities. The beautiful building makes me want to stay there as a guest next time I visit Austin!

When I first saw this building I was stunned. I was driving into River Oaks in Houston for the first time earlier this summer and turned my head up to this skyscraper in the middle of a neighborhood. It is a condominium complex in Houston off the 610 and San Felipe, named the Arabella. I realized then that Houston does not have zoning laws (allowing them to build towers like the Arabella just about anywhere in the city limits) but also realized how incredible it is that architecture is evolving to revolutionary designs like the Arabella. The features and aspects of the facade of the building is beautiful once seeing it for the first time. This is the type of building I hope to invest in/build/design one day in my future.

The Bank of America Tower is one of two twin buildings that dominantly sit above the Fort Worth skyline. It is also one of the towers I had the opportunity to work in this summer. In the picture above, the BofA tower is on the right and is the taller twin to the Wells Fargo Tower on the left. I never analyzed the Fort Worth skyline as much until I worked in the BofA tower, but I do remember always being drawn to these towers at sunset as you see above. The reflective glass presents a beautiful sight to those looking at the buildings from the east. The buildings make me feel proud to be from Fort Worth and call it home.
