building the Goodwin-Wise Flatpak
It took 2 years to build this first production version of the Flatpak House. I will post images as we set up home in our new digs.
China painting factories 07
In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
I'm a student photographer with an emphasis in Architectural Photography. I would love to take professional photos of your house for you for free if you are interested.

Hey your pictures are beautiful, you should check out wwwsalvoweb.com they have lots of architectural salvage that would work alongside the crisp modern look that you have. They also have reclaimed material such as stone bricks etc advertised on their site.

thank you! may i ask if it was difficult to get a builder here in the ne who is knowledgable in this type of installation? i always thought that ne builders/contractors were sticklers about having "pitch" on the roof, due to snow etc, and they shy away from "international style" flat roofed modern builds.
