    Tiho’s Site Visit

    This past weekend, Susan and I hosted our friend, Tiho Dimitrov, the Santa Fe based architect with whom we’ve collaborated on several projects over the years including ADK Oasis Lakeside and Rosslyn’s icehouse rehabilitation. Tiho’s site visit to both properties was an exciting culmination, especially as we glide into the home stretch of icehouse v2.0…

    Move-In Begins

    At last, icehouse move-in begins! We’re not yet 100% finished with the icehouse rehab, but we’re close. Really, really close. Inside, at least. Outside, less so.

    Searching for Poetry

    Searching for poetry, questing for questions that need no answers to matter and guide and enrich. This might be my epitaph. Some day. But not yet. I hope. Today, the vernal equinox, I awoke at 4:00 AM, eager to start cooking a wild boar roast I had thawed. Actually it wasn’t the roast that caffeinated…

  • Icehouse Loft Flooring Update

    Icehouse Loft Flooring Update

    Much of the current and upcoming stage in Rosslyn’s icehouse rehab involves covering, cladding, and closing in: clapboard siding, T&G nickel gap paneling, upcycled garapa paneling, and plenty of hardwood flooring. Today I’d like to get you up-to-date on the loft flooring. We’ve installed beech flooring that remained from the first floor reflooring (entrance hallway,…
