Drawing from the local tradition of stilt-frame wood construction, the design lifts the main living level to capture sun, breeze, and shade throughout the day while providing shelter below.

From Holiday Card to LEGO Set

Writing

Last November, Kevin and I sat down for our annual holiday card charette, a tradition we’ve kept since founding the firm.  It’s something we always look forward to: an opportunity to create something memorable and share it with our friends, clients, and community.  This year, one idea jumped out and stuck: *Lego*. Through the process of building making the holiday card, the project evolved into a custom box Lego set with an instruction booklet for the client.
