New Construction Pics – Keiser Residence
Here are some additional photos – things are moving right along. It looks like things will be ready for the exterior modifications and the landscape soon, which means that the yard will look great just about the time that the temperature here in Phoenix goes from broil to beautiful.
Reburbia finalists announced
The winners of Reburbia, the Suburban Design Competition, have just been announced today. The competition, sponsored jointly by Dwell and Inhabitat.com, called for design solutions that would address the problems that plague present-day suburbia by envisioning different scenarios for the future.

Keeping the hot side hot
There has been a lot of splash lately about radiant barriers, and most recently on its substantial impact in arid climates when applied to the bottom of the roof sheathing in attic spaces. My wife, in particular, wishes I would stop endlessly praising the benefits at every even slightly-related moment […]
“Revolution, baby.”
As I am working up a plan to try and salvage a large-scale residential project by taking a more in-depth look at the pro-forma (no small feat considering how land and housing prices have changed), I am reminded of the design successes we had on a similar project in Tempe […]
