Dominion and Empathy

Dominion and Empathy

It’s early Saturday morning, and by early I mean 5:45 am, and I am sitting in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal because I am trying to be a nice guy. But why am I up now and why should anyone care?

Karma – Did I Have it Coming?

Karma – Did I Have it Coming?

As I write this post, I am laying in my bed, running a 102 degree fever. I haven’t received official word back from the doctor’s office but the possibilities aren’t looking good for me.

Awesome Tubs

Awesome Tubs

I get to work one some really nice projects so I’ve been exposed to some tubs that look and perform great. I thought I would put some of my favorites on display here. The prices run the range so these wouldn’t all be appropriate for the same project or budget but since this is my fantasy list, I’ve included whatever I wanted to – neener neener.

Sshh!…I have a new girlfriend

Sshh!…I have a new girlfriend

Me: Hey Internet! What’s up? You know, you and I never talk anymore even though we see each other like ALL the time. Internet: Yeah, I know what you mean, I’ve been really busy doing stuff. Me: Man…we’ve been friends a long time haven’t we? I think we first met back in the Spring of(…)

The House Divided

The House Divided

Our office has come into possession of a bunch of old issues of The Architectural Forum magazine and I have been going back and reading through them with great pleasure. This magazine was first published in 1892 under the title of ‘The Brickbuilder’ and was last published in 1974, widely considered to be the best publication on architecture(…)

An Architect’s House – The Flood

An Architect’s House – The Flood

So I wasn’t planning on writing another post on my house for a while but we had a bit of excitement on Saturday night. Around 11:15pm we get a loud knock on the door - and since we aren’t in the habit of receiving late night visitors, I was slightly concerned.  As it turns out, it was some(…)

An Architect’s House – Master Shower

An Architect’s House – Master Shower

I have been working on selecting plumbing vessels and faucet sets on one of our projects here at the office and seeing all the really great stuff that is out there just makes me salivate for the time when I can address the needs of my own bathroom. I don’t anticipate any work beginning in the near(…)

Cool Things – 001

Cool Things – 001

I have been toying with the idea of creating a post that just sits there for a while and whenever I find something that stops me down and gets me to say ‘cool’, I’d stick it in that post. So this is the first one, chock-o-block full of stuff I think is kinda worth checking(…)

So I went to Paris and and saw some stuff

So I went to Paris and and saw some stuff

Everyone needs to leave their bubble every now and again – go one town over or fly across the world to famous cities full of cigarette smokers super models and un-affordable fantastic architecture. I recently did the latter (*air punch*) and if you haven’t read the last few posts you’re lucky missing out on the type(…)

Modern House – Friendly Neighbor?

Modern House – Friendly Neighbor?

Do architects of modern homes have a responsibility to the surrounding property owners when designing their projects? Should they? Or is it all about what they are doing, pushing the edge. Can modern houses ever be out of context and still be a good neighbor?
