Checking the progress of my side project in San Jose, a small 2B dettached unit in the odd shaped lot house. So far it looks great! We have a few more months to go, stay tuned!

Visiting my old project for a post-occupancy assesment and to share the achievements with friends.
Final report: the house looks even more gorgeous with a few years in!

These are inspired words and photos from my client. As a designer, there is no better feeling that knowing your design it's been appreciated and enjoyed:

The quarter acre flag lot is in the Hyde Park neighborhood, close to Japantown. There was no prior construction – we started from scratch with a clean sheet design. Our designer preserved the large, graceful black walnut trees, and we used the seclusion the lay of the land provides to build an open, contemporary glass and steel home, which Irene warmed with colors.

Elegant walnut furniture with clean lines enhances the bare, graceful interiors. We’ve strived to achieve comfort and warmth in the utilitarian modern style.

I’m not sure the pictures attached do a good job. They show some views of the house – but they don’t tell the story.

Rather, we see downtown SJ changing, evolving quickly into the 21st century, and this house, it’s aesthetic, representing that thrust into a vibrant future. This is a story about creativity and evolution, of hope and rebirth.

So we couldn't afford the rain screen as it was specified, due to a tight budget. It was a disappointment at first, but the goal is finish with project, and we are getting there.The final material is cladding with hardie fiber cement planks, to be painted.

I got really busy lately, and didn't have the chance to visit the site for a while. Anyways people keep working and I found that most of the windows were installed, the stairs structure is in place, and the electric wiring is done. The owner wants to move soon, so we better hurry up!

We are experiencing some delays due to changes on the project to accommodate to the budget, with the resulting delays on city permits etc. I guess it is intrinsic to the industry.
but, windows and doors from Milgard were just delivered on site, waiting for installation.
