Storage Silo. Father's Day


Hi Everyone.

The architect has been at his desk, sissors and pencils and scales and copiers at the ready. Are we ready. The storage silo, a place to store your guests. Same footprint as the shed/privy approved by the town.

Oh yes, we stopped by Centerbrook, Bob is Centerbrook. I joined him for a single malt, Louise was designated, Discussed the balance of the double ended cantilever and the structural hardpoints.

We arrived at the mountain at the witching hour exactly. If the true forms of prayer are blessing and thanksgiving, I fell asleep in sacred space.

Sixteen hours on the mountain got the three east windows in. The natural light in the kitchen is awesome. We decided ice and snow membrane should be an olympic sport, for some HGTV reality contest. We are not contestants. We are the winners. Well, maybe, sorta. The ISM doesnt stick to the powdery surface of the concrete tank, but it hangs like an apron over the edge of the tank top by 3"-6".

It is my fathers day awareness that the inclusion of a second, tiny, perfectly scaled, private space is the finest gift that could be made to this project. A gift to my children and family and friends. I know my father, who's will empowers this project approves the use of his estate . As the witchs would say....."blessed be"....BSB
