Session 1: Diagnosis |
Imagine the garden as a beautiful center, positive and living. It will be helpful to have a first vague picture of the house as a center which -- because of its position -- supports and helps this garden. To visualize the size, measure a large room you like, and decide how big the house is, recognizing that its cost could be between $9,000 and $15,000 for every 100 square feet. For convenience, you may find it helpful to express this in a few sample rectangles, so you know how long and how deep the building might be. Choose the most beautiful spot which will be a living center in the garden, and which is looking at a beautiful spot. Make the terrace a beautiful and positive center. If you can, can you decide roughly the size and shape of the room, and put stakes in the corners, so you can visualize the room, and the terrace together, what one sees from the room, lookign toward the terrace, and how big the room is, and what its orientation is? If you can, ask yourself these questions, and decide whatever you can. It is worth giving answers even if they are tentative. You can always change them later, but the more your know now, about your feeling regarding this room, the better your small house will become. Establish the main room in position, and make it a as a definite center. Make the living room and terrace and view, together, a living center. |
