| front entrance |
After my extended absence from this blog, I decided it's time to get some photo updates out there. Two weeks ago, I went to the Centerport house and took some pictures. I went room by room so hopefully this post will give a strong sense of the layout and how everything will look upon completion.
Let's start with the entrance. The photo shows where the front door will be and the fixed glass is all around the door, up to the ceiling. To the right of the door will be a closet space for jackets, shoes, etc. Eventually there will be a staircase in the area in front of the door that will lead to the second floor, however this step is not yet completed.

Next is the Kitchen area (ignore the two tubs in the way). The sink and counter top will sit right under the large piece of fixed glass, which is positioned on an angle to add light and dimension to the room. The electrical and plumbing are already set up for the kitchen area but as you can see there are many additions that are still in progress.

| dining area |
To the left of the kitchen is the dining area. I particularly like this space because of all the exposure from the fixed glass panes. There will also be access to the front porch from the dining room. I really like the way that the angles of this room give it a simplistic maturity that contributes to the pure character of this residence.

| living room/fireplace |
The dining room will open up to the living room, which is grand in nature. Here you can see the wall of the living room that extends from the dining area. The unique angular features are mirrored here in the fireplace hood. My dad pays close attention to detail, trying to create artistic value in each aspect of the home. The end result is a completed look that does not need to be covered in decoration to be beautiful.

| outside from inside |
To the right is a photo taken from inside showing the outdoor lighting built
into the framing. I wanted to share this photo to show how the fixed glass really gives you the feeling of sharing space with nature, not imposing oneself on it. This feature gives an overwhelming sense of peace and relaxation, allowing for the ideal living space.

| second floor |
Here is a photo of the second floor. the enclosed part harbors the two bedrooms that have a shared balcony space. The part that is still open will eventually be a bathroom, laundry room and den area. The den area will be to the far right from the perspective shown in the photo. You can also see the front door here, so it becomes more clear where the staircase will be.

The area under the second floor that you see in the picture leads to the first floor master bedroom, which will have a bathroom and a separate entrance. The master bedroom has a lot of natural light coming in from its unique glass pattern. Unlike the other areas with fixed glass, some of the windows in the master bedroom are able to be opened, which will give the option for natural air to come into the home.

| front of house |
Finally, here is a recent shot of the house from the outside. During my time in Centerport I was able to find some pictures of the house during different phases of construction and I even found a picture of the original house! I hope to get all this new stuff up soon, but I hope these updates are satisfying enough for now! Here you can see how the roof over the front porch is coming along. The lighting is installed-- and working and much of the Sheetrock is in place. We are really excited to see things coming together, I hope you are too!
