Massing Studies

Going in a Good Direction 1.03.07
The first few phases of the architectural process went really, really fast and easy. I think it's a combination of a good architect who listens (and my experience is they don't all do that) and us having really thought about what we want. Anyhow we did some early exterior studies and from there we basically narrowed down. So at the end of September we landed on where we are at today. This is a massing study of the exterior, there are interior drawings as well but they are less solid than these so I'm holding those for later. This exterior looks strikingly similar to one of the first three rough sketches that Michael showed us.



Withdrawal
Since September we haven't done anything with the plans. A combination of busy schedules and trying to do some research to ensure we're within our budget have made the time past quickly.However the lull in progress has been driving me crazy. I find myself thinking about the house every free moment I have. It's an obsession. I'm going through some sort of creative progress withdrawal at this point. I find myself watching every episode of any HGTV or FineLiving show that may have a hint of modern design. Paging through back issues of Dwell and Metropolitan Home hoping to cure my craving but nothing is working. hopefully tonights meeting with Michael is the antidote.
