And more patience
What was found at the site since Pentecost, is more difficult to describe as the pink giant piece. In January we started with the clear requirement not to exclude a new building. Then came the diagnosis of days, the little house took us with his undeniable charm in its spell. When the threat occurs, the question was only whether we can save the stairs.
For reasons that need not be mentioned in public, there was a change of architects. The new architect was taken up after the Whitsun holidays with other projects in hardware, then he began to get acquainted with his team. In this phase, little did the telephone again, called one evening a worthy relative with construction experience and was building (m) herrin accountable. He recalled the key principles that should be considered very unemotional when you build. Unemotional ...
... sleepless nights when we imagined the little house would be renovated as planned in five years we offered for sale. Not a difficult exercise, after we had looked at houses for years and assessed. Actually. The unemotional was probably the difficulty.
The new architect also liked the little house right away. When we made the resulting sleepless nights presumption gently told, it turned out that he is an experienced unemotional machine. "Your cousin has saved us three weeks time, no later then I would have made the same proposal."
The decision was made at a morning thunderstorm, no one has made it easy. Biology and ecology, aesthetic and technical aspects were stressful unemotional scrutinized and weighed.
Bottom Line: to build for today's legitimate standards, will lose a little house), his character and b) just as expensive as a new building, which also still quite offers other opportunities with respect to aesthetics and quality of living.
who has followed the blog here will suspect that this decision in the construction (m) rule requires a cross from schizophrenia shift of perspective. We are still in the internal conversion of the system. Instead of building materials of historical research now anything is possible. It then appeals to the Baubehördentum. This has absolutely seductive and yet our pages over and over again is the uncertainty. It is obviously easier for our mental structure to reorganize some pre-given as to recreate everything. At least almost everything - the new building is now the old building and remain. Although many projects prove the reputation and relationship, that conversions are generally more expensive than planned and never cease to employ their master stock, we still have more manners in front of a building than a conversion.
we are now, after five months out of the modification (m) rule for new building (m) rule and still a little stunned. The architect designs and sketches, wants to show anything yet, but jumps in unannounced bebademantelter Construction (m) mistress over for coffee. His pencil sketches accompanied in his explanation, then he rushes back from there, and picks up the sketches. He teaches construction (m) rule to an unprecedented compromise. According to the motto: If we sacrifice even this really beautiful house, has on its Place come something even better.
We now sleep a little better. The occasional waking we realize that we are new men. Skizzenlos we ask ourselves in thought and spoken Fitzelchen before conception and sleep almost calm again. We now know many of the houses that were built by him. And its clients. The best thing is to let him exercise as possible without interference. All we can contribute right now is patience. And once again patience. will burst in 2012, but then the thread.
