Join me for a client meeting and site visit to a very special location on a small island miles off the coast of Maine. Together we walk the site, sketch and discuss the strategies for building in such a pristine environment. You’ll hear the questions I ask, the ensuing discussions and discover the ideas that shape the design process and ultimately our architecture. And, perhaps surprisingly, it’s more than just a solving of functional problems.
This is a wide-ranging discussion that questions local architecture and building traditions, how to design for experience, and covers everything from the mundane and practical to the conceptual.
This is a side of the architectural design process rarely seen.
