Progress...

The interior team is swiftly moving along in the process of their design, focusing on perfecting the details that make the house that much closer to completion. With the tiling currently in process, the bathroom is well on its way. One of the many important things coming from the design of interiors is the process of trial and error. Such is true with lighting. We have been assigned the task of designing/building a medicine cabinet also doubling as a light source for the bathroom. After several weeks of design, we were unsure of the amount of light needed to correctly illuminate the space. After several suggestions, the only real option was to test it out. After a speedy mock-up was erected, we realized there was not going to be proper lighting for the space. It was back to the drawing boards. After fully correcting what was observed from the trial run, we corrected our mistakes and are now ready to hit production. Going through this process has made us realize the value in trial runs and how they really fine tune the details. From full scale mock-ups to tiny models, it is this attention to detail that makes the New Norris House so unique.

A special shout out to all team members who made the Foundry presentation look so fantastic.
