Hello,

I am Todd Capron. Thanks to everyone for their comments. Marlene and I have been following all the posts that you have written about the NY Times article. All of your view points have been very well stated, and most, if not all of these views came into consideration when we decided to take on this project. For us it came down to being able to negotiate our lease so that we could create our own environment. A large portion of the costs stated in the article were calculated as “sweat equity” and not out of pocket cost. As a designer it was an amazing opportunity to create a space with very few limitations, and to experiment with new design ideas. We wouldn’t have gone through the process if we weren’t having such a great time doing it.

Please feel free to check out my website at www.buildfabrication.com to see more examples of my work.

P.S. “what did they do to the floors? Is that some sort of whitewash finish? It looks incredible” posted by ec05
- We hired someone to sand the floors, and we whitewashed and finished them ourselves.

Thanks again,
Todd Capron
