Hipster

Getting down to the wire! Annual meeting is in two days.

I'm focusing on the roof pictured here, a "dutch hip" or "hip-gable". I like the way it shelters the entire building, inside and outside porches under a single shape, give opportunity for ventilation in the little gables, possible place for loft sleeping above the porch, and it looks interesting from the meadow, being a little more complicated than a simple gable butt in an elegant way.

Today I will be building a presentation model. Jay Schuster has agreed to bring a data projector to the meeting so I can walk everyone through the design in real time.
