HOME
What does the concept of HOME mean?
It’s our shelter, our investment,
our asylum, our nest, the repository of all of our stuff….
It can be a prison, literally or figuratively.
It’s an archive of our history,
or perhaps just a temporary space, someplace we had no say in
choosing……
It has aspects both architectural and
design-y, personal and sentimental. It’s our own private
hidey-hole, or the center of our social networking……..
And there are endless iterations::::::::
House. Apartment. Cabin……..tent……….RV……..boat…..
After many decades, my partner and
I found ourselves (almost accidentally) downsizing from a four-story
townhouse in Philadelphia into a condo in a modern high-rise.
Adjustments did not come easily, but were tempered by having enormous
windows overlooking the city - East, South, and Southwest. The
sky! The lights! The clouds!
Is this home?
