Design & approvals

July 2013.                                                                

                                            Farnsworth house by Mies van der Rohe (1951) ( and Lego)

July sees the the start of our retirement house. It is minimalist design based on Farnsworth house in Chicago. Construction is primarily steel and glass supported above ground to give the illusion that the house is "floating".

Progress has been slow but still moving forward, planning permission by Kalamunda shire has been received and now waiting for the water board's approval. Preliminary site clearing has begun while the structural engineer completes the final design .
