“How did the human species ever happen to think of building their homes so that the whole roof space was wasted.”
From a Neutra’s client’s letter to the famous architect.
Girl, I don’t know. I miss my old place because I could enjoy its flat roof at ease, chilling, and it was magnificent. I’ll never forget those views and the peace coming from receiving a nice breeze in the face with 360° of sky enveloping me.
Attics are quite stupid. Storing things for storage. Memorabilia is real but we ought to do better and keep what’s really important.
No attic means you have to make choices and align your past, present and future instead of deflecting.
That’s a positive. That’s work though. I don’t mind.
You can also build a small storage unit in the backyard somewhere, if you can’t help yourself.
