FROM HERE & NOW:
Mismatch: Current home is highway exhaust, no storage, no garage, no basement, no attic, my neighbor’s water runs through my crawl space, minimal 1903 cottage, leaks, tiny proportions, bump & crack bone...
TO WHERE I AM GOING:
Retrieval: Integrated work & play NVC, mentoring, Papermaking, invent storages for art, archives, clothes, documents, library. Large work-tables, tall ceilings, meeting room (unMeg classes/ poetry readings/ avant-garde Art/ Water Mark Press publications), leave some empty space. Leak & wind proof, windsail, dust-busting double entry, solar chimney, wrap-around-home envelope, potting-spiral-stair to deck, deer corridor, wildlife habitat, creative fence, Arbor-platform to prune pear tree & reach fruit. Extend redstone path, increase winter gardens, more food. Organize final years in community, ceremonial Turtle home + innovative systems blend architecture...a land trust???
