Long Island

So here's where we are at this point:

Finally back on the Island for some progress on our project!

Plants:

Here are the newly design residences with studio space in between. This will allow more views and comfortable sleeping and personal space for each artist!

I little research on plants at Exnihilo. While on the island this coming March we hope to begin a selective clearing of the land (not just bulldozing it).

Although the old timers on the island claim to have never seen a hurricane in their lifetime, this season apparently chose to show them something new.

In the beginning of the design process we had concluded that building on slab would be more economical, especially if we could just use that concrete as the first floor "flooring" and stain it.

Finally we can celebrate the finished design of our artist bungalows. These will be the inspirational spaces for artists to stay in, and will be the first building built on the site, hopefully if all goes well, by next May.

Designs for the Artists Bungalows are DONE. Now it is time to tackle the big Gathering House.

A detail of the artist bungalow. Each level is 325 square feet with kitchenette, a raised sleeping area and living/work area. The bath will be fitted with a washer/dryer.  The second story will have an added sleeping loft.

A major step today. Scary, exciting, and somewhat insane. Signed a contract to get the wheels rolling on our first and second structure for Exnihilo.
