Publicity for the Small Studio!

The internet seems to like our small studio. I have found many repostings of Lenny’s photos, and commentary about the little studio. Most of them seem to have just nabbed and revised slightly the written content from Dwell or the Washington Post, but here are a few that are more original:
House Vote has also posted a few other photos of my projects:
Yesterday Kirsten Dirksen and Nicolas Boullosa came all the way from Barcelona to make a video about the studio. I eagerly and nervously await my and John’s debut as movie stars on faircompanies.com.

Pier 80

I started a new project today for Artemis Racing. I’m not sure how much work there will be for me, but it was fun to spend the day on Pier 80 today.
My friend Vincent, another architect, helped me take measurements and photos of the structure.
This reminded me of my friend Peter’s A Project

In case you’ve been wondering what deedsdesign has been up to, besides enjoying Thanksgiving with friends and family, I visited a few job sites last week to check in.

Not to be sappy, but the true joy in my work is when I see something I made being used and looking good in a friend’s house, with a piece of nice art hanging over it.

Timbersil decking
Timbersil Framing
Adolfo (Ron Tostenson Construction) was sanding the decking smooth before staining when I stopped by. The framing and the decking are all glass impregnated wood by TimberSIL and extremely fire and rot resistant. (more info here) Its looking good – much better than pressure treated from below, and the decking is nice too.
