We've been extremely busy all summer, working on a variety of projects and proposals and one big hairy contract, trying to get our website finalized (Keith?) and live so we could finally "officially" announce our arrival as a firm, and have an excuse to throw a big coming out party (as if we need one...)
We expect all this to happen posthaste, and once the website is a happening thing, we'll be in here blogging regularly about what we're doing and what we aspire to do; what's keeping us up at night and what gets us up in the morning. Maybe I can even get Chris to write about his thing with shoes...
In the meantime, here's a glimpse of something we've been working on lately:
The Langworthy Addition in St Paul is the expansion and reorganization of an existing house for a fabric artist, her 2 children, and her mother who will shortly be joining them there. The living and dining rooms of the house will be converted into an accessible bedroom suite, while the kitchen has been reoriented and incorporated into an expanded living and dining studio. The addition cracks open the back of the nondescript four-square, opening north to an outdoor living area surrounded by extensive gardens. The design was informed by the sensibility of the owner's quilting work and layered fabric constructions, along with her informal lifestyle and handcrafted aesthetic. The character and scale of the addition are meant to form a transitional space between the house and several outbuildings on the site that begin to suggest a compound or urban farmstead. They'll be breaking ground on this soon, and should be in by early next year.
