November AIACC President’s Message Architects-more-than-you-expected.pdf

The 12th annual Code Conversation Event – founded by M.F. Malinowski AIA some 13 years ago – was another great success last evening with over 50 design professionals and building officials. There was a lively exchange of ideas, comments and forward looks, and best of all a continued development of the excellent working relationships between us all.

Adding secondary units in our urban core areas is a smart and sensible way to leverage existing infrastructure and accommodate sorely needed additional housing, with minimal public impact and often with NO public subsidy. New legislative action will help bring this redevelopment tool to the middle class!  LA Times article Today: Yes in your Backyard: Legislature OKs Granny Flats

We LOVE customer feedback . Hi Alex and Mike. This is Mimi seconding Phil’s motion. The Corner Pocket is taking shape and it is a really wonderful design! It looks great on the property and will satisfy our needs. We met with the cabinet maker for the second to final time yesterday. It’s fun to have them made just the way we want. Finish electric next; insulation; sheet rock; etc. Thank you for making it look really special! I especially love the little finishing touches on the eaves …a piece of wood that forms a shape. I don’t know what you call them, but I love them. Also the dormer and upstairs loft are really a wonderful design. We love Ralph and Kyle. They are good listeners and very responsive. Ralph’s experience is very confidence inducing. They have kept us on track. All the subs are great too! All very personable and talented. We couldn’t believe the framers up there in the 103 degree heat those few days. Whew!-Of course, the back yard is a pretty big mess and we’ve tracked in plenty of dirt! But we’ve learned how to deal with it. No pain no gain.—- J Thanks again to you both. Feel free to drop by anytime you want to see how it’s taken shape. Mimi PS Lots of admiring neighbors (even if we do wake them up early!!)
