Paterson House - Under Construction

This is our first LEED's house under construction

Ruddick Residence - On the Boards

This is a sweet little project for our client in St. Mary's, Georgia. This view is from the backyard.

The main house is a great room downstairs with the master suite upstairs. The house is sited to take advantage of the view of the marsh.

What makes me laugh

Once again I am participating in the let's blog off activity. Today's topic is What makes you laugh? I have always enjoyed the comics and particularly like this Dilbert cartoon. As architects we sometimes tend to take ourselves too seriously and need to laugh at ourselves more often.

I love the radio show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Paula Poundstone and Mo Rocca always have me in stitches. The highlight of my year in 2009 was being on the show and winning Carl's voice on my home answering machine. It makes me laugh to hear him answer my phone.

Embarrassed by  their premature arrival, Gary & Elaine's decorative Christmas trees made their way back upstairs for another month.

I regularly check out what is happening in the catalog lives of Gary & Elaine in the blog Catalog Living http://catalogliving.net/

I have to laugh at South Carolina Politics because otherwise I would hide under the covers and cry!

Finally my dog, Jasper, provides lots of laughs. He is scared of acorns and chases frogs

Frederick + Frederick Architects Sweeps Competition

We swept the Beaufort 3 Century Design competition. Read about it here http://tinyurl.com/2dmo2v7 and here http://tinyurl.com/246etkq Just so we don't think that we are smarty pants, Jeff Kidd included what has to be the worst picture ever of both of us.
