2010 TOP 12 – #6, ONGOING EXPLORATIONS

2010 – “Give me a couple months to consider that.”

A shout-out to Locus clients who like their architecture simmered like a crock pot on low. Despite our own impatience to get things built, we admit that projects can benefit from careful fermentation. It’s a rare – and engaging – project where we have the time to study every corner and material choice in detail, tinkering with a design to make subtle improvements.

For Linda & Mike – carbon neutral acreage near Winona, MN; Kristen & Scott – modern multi-generational passive/active solar home outside LaCrosse, WI; Unitarian Universalist Church of Minnetonka – a building for worship, meeting, and business that reflects the congregation’s low-impact values, culture of inclusion, and love of design. And we can’t forget sam, a sustainable attainable modern home for vigorous living.

Building in 2014? Don’t delay!

    Being the Linda of Linda and Mike above, I can echo Wynne’s comments. Simmering and living with ideas, concepts, materials has greatly improved and enriched the process and the outcome we are moving towards. It has given us time to really link the house to our values and personalities. I’m beginning to feel the house in my bones. We have no regrets for starting early.
