PUZZELLO ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE

PUZZELLO LLC will be doing business as PUZZELLO ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE from this point.  The name more accurately defines my firm as a critical practice as it encompasses the many things I'm trying to do as not just a traditional sense of an architecture firm.  The name 'Puzzello Architecture Practice' is more of a verb, not a noun (Thanks Ana and Wil) and is a more appropriate to the idea of an architect working or trying to define a way of working.  In my case, my service offering is not just design, it includes making (building, construction, fabrication, etc.).  Sometimes I don't know whether I'm designing or building.  

Starting an (real) office

I'm in the process of moving out of my tight office/apartment space into a real office space.  As 2012 came to a close, I felt that the time was right to search for a place to have more of a division between between work and home.  (Not that I'm quitting working at home!) After a comprehensive search, I found a small space at 6100 Keystone Avenue.  The landlord gave me a sweet deal by including for free, renovation of a 400 square foot space with new carpet, fresh paint, and outlets in locations specified by me.

The office is laid out in a linear fashion with desk units made from dimensional lumber and medium density fiberboard.  As desk tops, I used wood door slabs from Lowes.  They make beautiful desk tops as they are clean slabs of wood that can be painted, stained, or simply clear coated.  We chose the latter.
