“Something else, something very special that fascinates me about architecture. <Tension between Interior and Exterior> A fantastic business, this. The way architecture takes a bit of the globe and constructs a tiny box of it. And suddenly there’s an interior and an exterior. One can be inside or outside. Brilliant! And that means – equally brilliant! – this: thresholds, crossings, the tiny loop-hole door, the almost imperceptible transition between the inside and the outside, an incredible sense of place, an unbelievable feeling of concentration when we suddenly become aware of being enclosed, of something enveloping us, keeping us together, holding us – whether we be many or single.” – Peter Zumthor, Atmospheres

The Scorup Property in Bloom

It is finished in beauty.

The group took a small educational break to visit some amazing ruins.  We said good bye to Bluff on Sunday and hello to NEW MEXICO!!!!!!!! This gave all of us a chance to bond a little more and act a little silly. It was a nice way to learn about the Native American culture.

In the high of the high of the mountain, close to the sky yeahhh!!!!

… was a short workday…  But after our adventures in Chaco Canyon we were ready to get back to work!

We put in the final corner window.  Which means we are finally dried in!  (for those of you who do not know, that means the house is finally enclosed)

We are in progress with interior finishes in the studio, the shade structure and cabinetry for the kitchen.

There were some holes in the sheet rock and some people’s faces smiling through them, so I decided to take a picture.

Thanks everyone for all their hard work!
