Doing Laundry

A yellow highlighter, a ball point pen and some correction fluid are adequate tools when inspiration strikes. This steel structure is for drying laundry with a translucent roof to protect against afternoon thunderstorms. It was long overdue, the builder's phone call reminders have become more terse. So it was a relief to issue these sketches for construction, and good therapy for a rainy afternoon.

Favourite place, favourite people

I shared this with Sher-lin who visited from Japan (her Spring Break). I told her that she has a legacy here; two foster children she brought to life here in Sarawak, and have left here for others to bring up.
This was one of her final projects with us; left for Sean to bring up with builder, Liew.

When I showed her this page (the back page of our local architect's newsletter is dedicated to the importance of details) - she told me that she liked the photo on the top left. I wonder if it is because her Japanese experience has left in impression, one that reminds me of the "engawa" or the open side verandah of a traditional Japanese house.
