Architectural Upshot

So. We met with our architect on Sunday to work through some things, not least of which was the door dilemma. We're going with a 30" door.



The roofdeck is still not feeling totally right with me, but fortunately we can put that off for awhile and let it percolate.



We also brainstormed some interesting ideas for getting light into the stairwell. It has a south facing wall, but there is a house close by and a big window would make for an ugly view. So we're right now leaning toward a Le Corbusier style perforated wall like at the Chuch at Ronchamps. There was a neat article in November's Dwell about this idea being used in Minneapolis. I tried to source some of those little windows and had some luck in Sodo today. It would look sweet from the outside and the inside.
