And although it still proved quite a challenge to realize the program of requirements within budget, in the end it was successful.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a while since I went to see this project. I was curious to see how the house ended up. Talked at the kitchen table about the process of then to the result of now. Then, together with clients, took a tour in and around the house.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1758814562485{margin-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]That Friday was not sunny, therefore no bright blue sky as a backdrop for a small round of photos. Doesn&#8217;t matter, because &#8220;we have what we need when we use what we have,&#8221; according to Edgar Cahn.<\/p>\n<p>A female blackbird quietly watched my round of photos from the highest point of the house and, with her light brown plumage, evidently felt right at home.<\/p>\n<p>Curious to see more images and information from this special project?
