ofuros - japanese tubs
ofuros are quite different from hot tubs and yet are not bathtubs. The user first washes before entering the tub then rinses with scoops of water and THEN enters the ofuros to soak. Entire families bath together in Japan however we are planning for a small soaking tub that will fit 1-2 people. It will sit outside of the studio under a covered deck.
november progress
These images mark the progress of the construction of the building. The crew is incredible, often working on Saturdays.
Now that I can really see the structure and move through the space - I'm so excited. I can envision it not simply as a good work space but as beautiful structure that compliments our existing house. Furthermore the studio has a stunning tree top view of Eagle Rock! The building inspector that came last week commented on what a wonderful addition it was to our house (does this often happen?) I'm amazed how quickly everything is moving. I think we may easily finish by the end of the year - I can't wait to move in.
Every evening I've sat in the construction site and watched the sky and daydreamed about the landscaping and gardening I'm planning around the studio. Outside of the large window, I can envision large timber bamboo (Black Bamboo?) with a small rock garden. I'm on a quest for another stone Buddha that can sit in a corner. We also have plans to eventually install a Japanese outdoor tub or ofuro at the back of the rock garden.

walls!
The framing has finally starting. A couple of alterations to the studio include a small door that will open out onto a small deck that over hangs the hill and maybe a rail around the roof. The view from above is amazing.
