Talking about our building project with a missionary friend, he told me a phrase that stuck to me. He said, “do not settle for anything less than what you want!” –at least that is about how I remember his words.
So when Laura and I started to plan the house and dream about how to do it, we ended up deciding that we want a good architect to help us with the process (partly of course because legally we needed one), we did not want to settle for just someone who could file the drawings for the cheapest possible, but wanted someone who would help us to understand how our house should be designed and built.
We have now hired an architect, Josefina Nacher Cases, she studied architecture in Barcelona, she is from the region of Catalonia (https://www.facebook.com/nouarquitectura) and she is finalizing the drawings, and let us be honest, we are super excited!
Our house will be bigger than our original plan in order to fit what we wanted and to have a layout that works.
Now our next steps will be to get all the needed permits, and decide on who will build the house, do fundraising and/or look for a loan.
If you have any ideas, let us know!
