Recent Visit with Glidehouse™ friends
One of my favorite part of the work I do is the relationships with clients. Kevin and I recently visited with a fabulous couple that started as clients, but have become dear friends. As we spend time in their spectacular Glidehouse, and look at all the moments in the home that our similar to our own Glidehouse (that we live in), as well as elements that they have added that make their house unique and special, I feel such a strong bond not only to the house itself, but also to our friends. I imagine it is something like the bond people feel when they are in fraternities/sororities together, or have been in the same troup, or have shared in a significant life experience together. I cherish these bonds, and am now started to see how much this influences the work and my inspiration to do it.
This particular Glidehouse and site has lovely moves with the landscaping, the garage/carport, and the furnishings. All of which make this home completely unique to this client and this site. In this photo below, you can see the Glidehouse on the hilltop. Absolutely stunning.
Along the drive to the house, I love this “peekaboo” moment as the home greets the visitors by emerging from the grasses.
The furniture chosen for this house is perfect. Each piece has a story. Most of it came from local artisans, and many pieces made from recycled materials. One of the wonderful things about smaller homes is that you have to choose each piece that goes into them very carefully. This typically results in cherished pieces, each with meaning.
