August 2013 and a series of fairly diverse posts. The first one deals with embedded detail items and the “show when cut” checkbox. This feature is disabled for most categories but can be accessed by changing the category to “window” and back again. I should do another post about this kind of work. I wish there was an easier way to draw a detail “in-place” and then transfer this work into the family environment so it appears in every instance of a placed family.

For as long as you have been in business, you have been taught there are a limited number of ways to generate referrals. Ask your clients and contacts – anyone in your database whether you really know them or not – for referrals and ask often. Be promotional and gimmicky by placing “your referral is the greatest compliment you can give me” or “I’m never too busy for your referrals” in your email signature or newsletter.

Our client came to us with a brief and a budget, with a site located in one of the many suburbs in Kuching; a subdivided plot without many redeeming features except a distant view of Mount Serapi from the first floor, and because it is a second plot from the road - it is quieter. A simple 4.0 x 4.5 metres structural grid was used to simplify the construction and to devise the layout, which was a series of served and service spaces sheltered by a large gable roof.

The Outpost project has entered the rough framing phase. This is the point where that initial sketch of an idea is rendered in physical form. For an architect, it's probably the most exciting part of construction and it's taken us many months to get here. Site and foundation work are time consuming and embody a lot of effort, but progress is often slow and much of the work remains hidden in the finished home.

Throughout my early life, my father would get up at 4:30 in the morning, six days a week, for his job as a contractor. I knew his work was taxing from seeing his coarse hands and tired eyes after he got home each day, yet he always had the energy to spend time with me. He was my closest friend and confidant, as well as my most influential role model.
