All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space.
Philip Johnson, American architect (1906-2005)
With a bit of trepidation caused by not knowing what I would find on the other side of the door, I entered my not-yet-home this evening to spy what my contractor has done. I was thrilled to see the old carpeting gone and the kitchen wide open thanks to the removal of a wall. Indeed, we are underway to creating a space to call home. I'm quite sure that my flat will never be called great architecture; nonetheless, I have every hope that it will contain, cuddle, exalt, and stimulate all who enter in.
Great times ahead!
