Lido Living: 6/26/11

6.28.11 - AIA, ASID & SAF House Tour

From 5 to 7pm members of the 3 organizations walked around the house and asked questions. Architect Jonathan Parks and interior designer Punit Patel were on hand to explain the design process and Elliott and Sam the construction. We also got the chance to walk through Mark Sutana's impressive 14,000 square foot house under construction on Westway and the bay. That house looks similar to ours (concrete block, duct work, membrane roof) except it's on steriods big time.

Elliott found this in our dumpster - it's upside down but love the "legs"

Jonathan posted drawings of what the rooms will one day look like
