Quickly before bed:

Grandma, I am sorry that I haven't been posting more frequently! I keep intending to get in a better pattern, but this week has been tough.

A quick overview:

I am working on a house on a hill in Connecticut. The conceptual parti is a floating box. Calvin (the principle of the firm) is using the Farnsworth House as a point of departure. It is also supposed to be a counterpoint to the 18th-century colonial further down the lightly wooded hill. Another inspiration is the traditional Japanese house, particularly the wood construction and fusuma, sliding doors made from wood and paper.

This week has been particularly busy, as we are pushing the project forward as fast as we can. My team had a meeting with Calvin last Friday, then again today, and a third Friday. Each meeting means lots of changes, lots of work. Added to that, we are meeting with a structural engineer tomorrow, and we want to have a final-ish plan ready for the client on Monday. All this to say: this week has been tough.

I've worked 'til midnight every night, and arrived at work an hour earlier than almost everyone as well. Been very tough to come home and write a blog entry, hence the reason this is the first all week. I apologize, my faithful readers, you few, you happy few, you band of blog-readers.
