Dear Friends ,
These are extraordinary times. With the recent passing of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, we can no longer remain passive. We can no longer be complacent. We must do something. We must re-imagine a New World.
So I keep wondering: What can I do? How can I be useful?
The answer that comes up for me is H O U S I N G... It's an issue I care deeply about.
Quietly for years I've been working on a solution to address the housing crisis.
For more than two decades in this profession, I've worked with clients and homeowners who struggle with the cost of building or remodeling their home. I've experienced the bureaucracy of permit processing and inefficiencies of construction.
All the while, our environment is adversely affected with depleting natural resources, ever-increasing energy use and subject to natural disasters like the raging fires across the west coast.
In my heart, I believe one way forward is to build smaller, to design with better efficiency and flexibility, while being mindful of environmental consequences.
