Wright Chat

I spoke with Laurie on Sunday. He told me that a not so thoughtful addition was added to the original house, located off the long bench seat wall. He has no known photographs of the house during construction nor when completed. Unfortunately it is gone forever, due to a fire. I've sent SDR an image ...

I was fortunate enough to visit Dan and Dianne twice at their lovely home. On my second visit, I was able to spend the night in the guest bedroom for a most restful sleep. Dan joined me the next day to tour the Belden Brick works and as always, he was there to share all his experience and knowledge ...

I thought it might be best to start a new topic for Laurie's effort for this smart compact beach house.
Laurie has communicated to me that Roger Grant thought highly of this little house. I think it is worthy of discussion.

Now...What might be best way to link an image, without troubling SDR?

Laurie has described this to be one of his best experiences from a great client.
It shows.

Now if we could just get the built-ins back.

Laurie has asked me to reply on his behalf to Rood's questions. He has been back home for some time now, and doing very well. He continues to provide me a Master class on all things design, lessons in life and recipes worth trying. He writes: "For Rood: The Rivendell brief was written by my wi...

I thought that this thread might be the likely place to give you Wright Chatters an update on Laurie Virr. I have had the pleasure of visiting with Laurie weekly via Skype for a number of years. Laurie has now been transferred to a physical rehab hospital after two weeks in hospital due to a fall. H...

Well I guess I should just keep to myself. From the builder/owner: Mr Buck I am sending you this message threw my friend/realtor. Mr Jones was an apprentice to Mr Wright. Mr Jones studied and liked Mr Wright's design so well they he held things in or around the same scope of Mr Wright. As to what I ...

Seems the fire damage and repair have been addressed poorly. The furniture sold on eBay. What was is not now. Sad.

ZacharyMatthews, Do you offer any discount for art educators? I have subscribed with joy in the past, but my funds are now limited. Not only am I teaching middle school kids to get off their games, but hope they find a way to MAKE THINGS, with their hands, eyes and minds. This publication is a great...

This is indeed good news on both counts, DRN and Peterm. Much like keeping a numbers matching classic intact.

I'm not sure what could come about by contacting the Conservancy. Would be nice to be on a first-name basis to Mr. Silver. Unorthodox indeed. I'll have to make my bed each day? I've never had a king-sized bed, but there it is. Laurie has done so much in this small space. His design does make more fr...

peterm, A GC that would have the enthusiasm and ability to build something this original and unique. I'll have some time to travel to NC this summer. It will be challenging to be present during critical phases of the construction while living in Texas. Laurie sent me a note with some ways of going a...

Yes, please!

Are other homeowners attempting to slow you down? Not at all. I'm out in the sticks, so that is not a problem. There are very good craftsmen and masons in the area. I've seen very fine brick work in and around Hendersonville and Asheville. I'm finding that some builders are not great communicators.
