12.16.11 / The Kohler Southeast Asian Golf Challenge
I-Jin Chew, Project Manager
They say that Pete Wimberly was an "outdoors" person and hated air-conditioning. Hopefully he would have approved of our day out of the office enjoying the sun and tropical breezes at the Kohler Southeast Asian Golf Challenge held at the Tanah Merah Country Club representing WATG. On the 10th of November 2011, Robertino Limandibhratha, Nora Kaichung Pui and I-Jin Chew had the great pleasure of enjoying a day with colleagues in the design industry on one of the top courses in Singapore, courtesy of our hosts Kohler, who have richly combined their pursuits in hospitality, design and golf.
11.03.11 / One day in Shanghai
Ryan Langlois, Senior Interior Designer
One of the joys of our line of work is that we get to combine our passion for travel with our work. When those two interests overlap on the same trip, it's even better. Recently I had the pleasure of visiting Shanghai for the fist time for a project. Not only was this a client presentation but it was also an opportunity to work across offices with the Singapore interiors team and the interiors team in Irvine. Prior to our client presentation, Zia Hansen and I met up, booked a car for the day, and armed with a list of hotels, we set off to see what Shanghai has to offer. Alas, our driver did not speak English, so the concierge at hotel was kind enough to translate our 'wish list' so that the driver would know where to take us. This proved to be an adventure throughout the day, as the driver would take us to each location and it was not until we arrived that we knew which hotel we were visiting! We spent the day taking in about 10 hotels, looking at F+B outlets, taking in the vibe of the lobby, walking guest corridors, and when possible asking for room tours.

06.27.08 / Architecture Blog: Cairo--Alive at 1:15 a.m.
Roger Gaspar, Associate
I?m about to leave Cairo in 1-1/2 hours. Completely exhausted from a two-day charette, I am ready to go back home to California. Yet, instead of taking a quick nap or turning on the TV, I decide to hang out on my hotel room?s balcony in an attempt to etch the city in my mind one last time.
04.04.08 / Architecture Blog: Student Mentorship and its Serendipitous Lessons
Roger Gaspar, Associate
I have been co-leading a co-op program in which architecture students from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo spend a ten-week internship at the WATG-Irvine office. The program offers students valuable work experience and, at the same time, an opportunity to complete a design studio project that was developed for the internship.
