And soon there were three

So the second house is a few weeks away from completion. It is apparent that each house will take a year to construct. We have now completed the set out for the remaining three houses and have a good understanding as to how each building will look insitu ad in relation to each other. The interesting design elements are the consistency of the finished ffl, the close proxiity of each building at the top at circa 1.8m apart running down to 18m at the tail end and the revealing size of each building when inside. The spaces between are very pleasant. No sense of intimidation from the long walls. To facilitate further the privacy we have planted some 50 tree ferns betwee n the two houses at the narrowest point to improve privacy in the space between the buildings and to give a terrific outlook from the long kitchen windows. Images to be posted later in september.
