Presenting: The Wolfe Den

31Mar09

This is the result of the first photo-shoot. We had to pare it down to 25 shots for a presentation but we will post a wider selection soon. Enjoy, and let us know your thoughts!

BTW, the project has won its first award. Well, the vanity did. MJ and John Newbold collaborated to create this fantastic white concrete counter and sink.

I enjoy visiting your blogs, and watching the Wolf-Den come together, the spatial overlaps are wonderful. Excellent work! (Architecture and Photography)

You should update the floor plans, the image with the boy by the “bathroom-court” on the second floor shows a bench but the plan shows another configuration (field design change most likely, and a good one). You should spend time on updating the plan, like a ‘Design-As-built’, so you can submit to an editor like Oscar Ojeda’s American House series. Plans would then match the images.

Please keep posting—we are enjoying your design process. I look forward to the next project.

MJ responded this to big fan comment. I have to rush to get these plans corrected:-)

Thank you big fan!

“he’s correct on both accounts. bench is in a different position and it was a decision made in the field. really impressive that he spent that much time with the plan.

BTW we have three different editors in Spain, and we HAVE been talking to Oscar, but I don’t think he has published us yet…

Were you also the builder?
Design Builders, like Sebastian Mariscal Studio -
http://www.sebastianmariscal.com/
Or Jonathan Segal
http://www.jonathansegalarchitect.com/
You have so many images of the people building the details, it appears like your One team.

The material’s details are so strong, great stuff, inspiring.

  We do design-build sometimes, but this one was built (under MJ’s very close, daily, surveillance:-0) by John Bowyer and Michael Kalish of Livingartaustin.com a new outfit. John is a builder that was an interior designer and Michael is an incredible carpenter. We love John and Mike:-)
