Last semester i was in the New Norris House studio, however this semester i was unable to stay with the studio team. Wanting to see the project through until my graduation, i jumped on board with the New Norris House seminar that meets less frequently and is primarily focused on the interior design and interior installation.
This semester my first task is to work with Michele (another former studio team member) on the layout and details of the tile work in the Norris House bathroom. With such a compact space, every detail around every corner must be drawn in detail to fully understand how these tiles must come together.
Today we met with Bob Brown, a tile professional, to seek advise about how to properly seal the area around the window within the shower as to avoid moisture damage. Moisture might be public enemy number one when it comes to construction, as it can wreak havoc on unseen parts of the house. Having a professional who does this everyday was very helpful to understanding how we can avoid major issues in the bathroom. He was able to give us names of products and suppliers and generally just lead us in the right direction. A special thank you goes out to him for taking time to help us out.
The meeting with Mr. Brown took place at the Norris House, which i had not seen since early January due to the limited hours of the seminar class. I was very impressed with the work the new studio team has accomplished. It was very nice to see the continuation of the work that we completed last semester look so beautiful. The drywall is impeccable, the French doors look amazing, and the house looks very nice all around. I guess the Fall 2010 team left the house in good hands. I am excited to go back in a couple weeks to see what else they have completed.
