Mike Woods

Senior Project Manager

MWoods@PLACEdesigners.com

Mike Woods

Mike Woods is very busy, again. He approached PLACE designers inc, after taking some time off to work on some of his other projects and travel. We are extremely thankful for his decision. Mike’s experience and talent is evident when viewing his resume which includes a wide range of projects with budgets up to $72 million. When young, his grandmother would paint with him, and he often worked alongside his grandfather, a carpenter. That combination surely played into Mike deciding to become an architect when he was 8 years old. After graduating from Texas A&M University in 1978, he went right to work and rose up in responsibilities and projects. Being a Master Architect, Mike brings a wealth of technical knowledge to the team. These days he spends most weekends at a Victorian house he restored in Galveston. While there, he will hit the beach with his 6-year-old grandson, teaching him how to surf and playing gold. He is a great example of what PLACE designers inc offers. Wonderful work opportunities and time to do what is important to each member.

Ariana Cuvelier

Designer Architecture Studio

ACuvelier@PLACEdesigners.com

Ariana Cuvelier

Ariana Cuvelier discovered early on what she wanted to become. At seven years of age, when she started drawing floor plans, of which she still has, set things in motion. It probably helped that both her parents are engineers. That was the beginning and now she is part of our PLACE designers inc. What happened between is just as interesting. Ariana was on her way to the Olympics as a swimmer before choosing her education. With her work on City Hall in Jersey City, TX., and Baldwin Boettcher Library in Humble, TX., as examples of her renderings, PLACE designers inc sought her out. When you lastly consider her artistic renderings, which started off as a hobby and now is done professionally, you see how this all fits together to make her as she is, a talented and accomplished person.

Yiming Chu

Landscape Architect

YChu@PLACEdesigners.com

Yiming Chu

Yiming Chu did not introduce himself to PLACE designers inc. with a lot of experience. In fact, he had little experience working in a firm of our qualifications. That speaks very clearly about his talent. What Yiming brings to PLACE designers inc. is an International viewpoint from studying overseas, with the ability to put his talents into designs in an appealing manner. Being able to be that creative, while reaching the standards that need to be surpassed, is a talent we welcome.

Marina Boultinghouse

Architecture Intern

MBoultinghouse@PLACEdesigners.com

Marina Boultinghouse

Marina Boultinghouse does not just want to be an architect, she clearly knows where she wants to use her skills. That is with PLACE designers inc. Growing up around construction sites was just commonplace for her. The idea of getting her Bachelor of Architecture came almost in an instance. On a trip to San Antonio while in high school, Marina saw the buildings. More than seeing them, she saw what went into them. The design and unique features. Wanting to put those thoughts in action, she enrolled at the University of Texas and has spent the last 3 summers as an intern. It is a great match when Marina has her sights on PLACE designers inc., and they want her also!
