The First Sketch of Our New Home

We met with our architect on Tuesday night and he presented us with the first drawings. Prior to this we spent about 2 hours with him a couple of weeks ago where he essentially interviewed us on our likes, dislikes, needs, etc. It was an interesting process as he really challenged us to think about what we wanted in an ideal home. Luckily Helene and I have very similar tastes. He is very easy going which makes things a lot easier. No criticism of our ideas, just suggestions on the positives and negatives of our thoughts. Needless to say, we were happy with the first drawings. I will post some of the other drawings soon including the interior floor plans. The next step now is for Helene and I to provide feedback and suggestions which we're in the process of doing. We will meet him again for another review next week.

Sounds like you are settling in quite well...with plans for a new house in hand. Congratulations!

I look forward to reading more as things go forward.

I would like to invite you to visit my website, www.blueVicar.com...for people who like to write and read stories about living abroad. Readers can live Vicar-iously anywhere in the world, while writers learn to see more, write better, and live more fully.

We are in Antibes...seems a long way from the country around Paris. Life here is now a hub-bub of tourists and vacationers...sand and flipflops...sunburns and rosé. Ahhh---the Riviera!


Meilleurs vœux!
Anne
