Maxon House Project

I don't only write and do design for a living I also experience it. Our family has embarked on a multi-year journey to collaborate with local craft and artisans, builders and architect to concept and design and ultimately build our modern dream house. I chronicled the experience for Dwell magazine and a documentary is being made about the project as well. I share some photos, videos and thoughts along the way on our Facebook page that I wanted so share with you. Follow the progress of Maxon House on our Facebook page. Read all about the behind-the-scenes story of the making of a modern dwelling designed by Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig Architects. Check it out here. Also, a daily blog is also available over at maxonhouse.blogspot.com
