Tales From the Box

A story of a beach house in the Blue Mountains

A slab in time

We have action! Our topsy turvy rear slab has been ripped up and now looks just right to plant a fab veggie garden. However this area will be where the main plumbing will exit our slab from our bathroom. The house is about 46 years old yet the dirt below the slab looks relatively fresh….in a weird sort of way…
One crap slap gone

They have also started to cut into the front part of the slab to extend our floorspace in the main area of the house. This is to align the front beam with enough clearance to make it uniform with the rest of the ceiling height.

    It actually looks better in the photo’s than it does in real life! And by “looks better”, I mean “looks like they’ve done more than they have”.

    Is “Clasic Modernism” a contradiction in terms?
    Photos look good – your on the move!

    Yes it is….maybe exchange with consistent. The ideals of modernism – as to how it relates to functional architecture – is what i was getting at. The focus on
    materials used and geometrical forms (the embrace of the right-angle rather than cover this up with messy decoration). Clarity of form and function is what we are pushing for.

    Classic was a bad choice….
