68
00:02:10,933 --> 00:02:15,500
ADDITION.

69
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:17,166

PHOTOGRAPHS.

79
00:02:27,033 --> 00:02:32,533
LIKE THE FRONT DOOR SHATTERED

WARM FIRE.

86
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:47,766
>> THESE NEW EDITIONS GIVE

DESIGN VISION.

89
00:02:47,766 --> 00:02:52,700
>> IF YOU HAVE A WIDE OPEN SPACE

90
00:02:49,833 --> 00:02:55,133
IT IS NOT COMFORTABLE IT DOESN'T

91
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:57,400
FEEL LIKE A HOME.

92
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:58,433
BY USING THESE KINDS OF GESTURES

93
00:02:55,133 --> 00:03:00,366
IN THE SPACE YOU CREATE ROOMS

94
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:05,600
WITHIN ROOMS.

95
00:02:58,433 --> 00:03:07,100
AND MAKE THOSE EXPERIENCES THAT

96
00:03:00,366 --> 00:03:09,400
MAKE A HOME WHAT IT IS.

97
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:11,266
>> LIKE ANY HISTORIC HOME

98
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:11,633
BEARING THE CHICAGO ELEMENTS

99
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,433
UPKEEP IS ALWAYS A WORK IN

100
00:03:11,266 --> 00:03:16,366
PROGRESS.

101
00:03:11,633 --> 00:03:19,433
>> THE IDEA, OF COURSE, IS TO

102
00:03:13,433 --> 00:03:21,100
BUILD A PLAN WHERE WE'RE ABLE TO

103
00:03:16,366 --> 00:03:23,066
ATTACK ISSUES AS THEY COME UP

104
00:03:19,433 --> 00:03:24,166
AND CONTINUE DOING THAT IN A

105
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:28,100
CYCLE.

106
00:03:23,066 --> 00:03:29,366
