LOFT ROOM DESIGN LOFT SECTION DETAIL
WHOLE-HOUSE IN ELEVATION
By Before The Architect Copyright 2009-2010
I get quite a kick out of folks who boldly talk with me about "bumping out" some wall or another, and wave their arms about as though it was all but already so. I know that they haven't the first foggy notion of what-all's involved. Prancing and preening and pointing this way and that with their finger and their imagination.
Eventually, the performance slows down, and they sneak a peak at my eyes. Some stare into them, trying to fathom a signal as to whether they're endorsed, supported, or how foolish they've have been, how far off the mark, betrayed, shamed.
They've nothing about which to fret. I respect them beyond their ken. I reckon this conceit I can bear happily.
I revel in the understanding that theirs is a reasonable, responsible ignorance. They needn't know the whys and hows of building. Because I do. Before The Architect
1) This drawing is a loft section in elevation as-rebuilt with a lot of annotation and dimensions to help assure that all are thinking alike
i) Some new spaces and transitions
ii) The substantial changes we were designing both
(1) Fitted
(2) Were understood both individually and relative to each other given our remodeling of
(a) Contiguous spaces
(b) On 5 different levels
(c) Enclosing as habitable a covered space
(d) Enclosing as habitable an unhabitable enclosed space
(e) Removing large sections of wall
(f) Rerunning a staircase
(g) Space with a static footprint
(h) Dramatically rearranging traffic patterns
(i) Dramatically rearranging lines of sight
b) Note please, the caveat on structure at the upper right corner, there to satisfy this home designer’s concern that just maybe – just maybe – bearing in part of the existing structure to be remodeled might not be as apparent as it appeared
