The Journal
Notes from
the houses.
Six themes, each a way of reading a house rather than a category of post.
First entries in preparation
01
Provenance
Why a Fickett line matters. What can be changed without losing the original idea.
02
Material intelligence
Why one stone feels quiet and another feels decorative. How wood, metal and plaster age.
03
California living
Light, canyon, coastline, thresholds, pools and landscape — the geography of the house.
04
Resilient Modernism
Fire-aware assemblies, landscape, glazing and systems integrated without turning the house defensive.
05
Collected interiors
Vintage, contemporary, art and objects. How a room gains memory instead of a theme.
06
Process
Drawings, samples, mockups and site decisions. Show the work behind the finished image.
