I spent the first half of the week in the Lone Star State, hoping to win a new commission for my architectural practice. Prior to our team's interview we toured the Texas State San Marcos campus and took in what would be the new building site.
Following the interview, I got to tour the University of Texas at Austin campus where my office currently has two buildings under construction. They don't look like much more than big holes now, but soon towering buildings will be put in their place. I can never quite grasp the enormity looking at renderings from behind my desk. Standing on the edge puts it in a whole new perspective.
While I was traveling, people continue to move into other condo units in our complex! We continue to wait for FHA approval and have had to commission a second appraisal. Apparently our first expired after ninety days. Seeing other units with cars in the driveways and lounge chairs on the balconies makes it even more real. We're certainly feeling more excitement than ever before!!
