A thousand years ago, I went to college. I wanted to be an architect. Part of our finals was to design a home. I did plans, elevations, sections, details….the whole works. I passed. But, when I asked to get a letter to go further in my studies, I was told I’d be better off as a plumber. I’m obviously NOT a plumber (very far from it). And decided to take my career in a different direction.
A while back, I dug out those old plans and decided to create them in 3D. So after 30+ years, people can see what I had in mind. The building is all there. All four sides. I just haven’t finished the landscaping. Trees, plants and flowers take while. In the garage is a 1951 Chevy panel van. Black Cherry and Tan. I want one when I grow up.
Here’s the view as you would have arrived…..
This was designed by a college student? It looks much more accomplished than a twenty something would come up with.
Yes. I was never into the current (at the time) white and orange boxes that were so prevalent in the 70’s and 80’s. I designed something I felt fit with the site. Apparently, at that time, you aren’t supposed to do that. I guess that’s why I’m not and architect today.
