WATG, Belt Collins International, Hilton International, PIA International, John Chan Designs, GOCO Hospitality, and Ningbo Sunland Real Estate Company gathered in Xiangshan, China for a final meeting. This completes our design for the Hilton Xiangshan Resort Hotel. The project features 16 hotel villas, a presidential villa, and a wellness center.

We were featured on the local news that evening! And we dined with the Deputy County Governor of the People's Government of Xiangshan County, Qiu Jinyue.

Salli Morita and I visited Niu Valley Middle School for their annual career day. We shared with them the different aspects of architecture, master planning, interior design, and landscape architecture, and the various types of projects we do globally. They were impressed... "Have you really designed a house on the water?"

We then gave them their first design assignment as future architects: to design their dream home. We showed them how we begin every design with "bubble diagrams,"(bubbles representing rooms, illustrating room adjacencies and relationships) and let them go. They did well. After all, what 11-year-old wouldn't want a water slide between the bedroom and dining room?
