North Berkeley Art Studio

Slowly but surely this new building is taking shape. The interesting angles create privacy from the main house and useful delineation of spaces on the inside. The siding is select tight knot cedar. The mitered corner is nicely executed by the craftsmen of McBride Construction.  Still to come – interior finishes, lighting, landscaping, and a loft. Stay posted for more photos as it unfolds.

Visit to Snohetta

Posted in Found Objects, tagged , , , , on April 16, 2013| Leave a Comment »

A while back I visited my friend Mike who works at Snohetta in Manhattan.  This is one of their most popular projects.  What I like about the Oslo Opera House is that the building is part of the landscape.  The ground continues up onto the roof of the building as a place to sit and enjoy the view and also as a skateboard park.
