imagine...

Imagine when this is actually real....

...this is what we are bringing to Graham: Benji's model, based on the first lot of drawings...a work in progress but we're getting there!!! ... the pitch on the roof over the northern bank of winter sun windows is less than that of the model in the photo in the post below this one...

Met with the architects, Graham and Sally on Tuesday night... sat out on the deck at the Powerhouse and got the first look at the preliminary drawings...
Benj and i were very impressed... they have really "got" us and what we are trying to achieve... Of course there are a few things to fiddle with and a few changes will have to be made (e.g. making the roof line a little more country homestead and a little less modern) but the general feeling is great! ... we're pretty excited.
Benji is planning on making a balsa wood model this weekend while i am at Eva's ballet gig.
Great to see Graham is back on his feet again after his cardio-pulmonary health issues.

Camped out at the block on the weekend just passed, with old friends and new, the in-laws and my lunatic brother ("Benji is this funny or am I just wasted?"). Great night with awesome people. Love you all... photos (care of Bill to follow).
