BUILD-N-SHARE #34

A CurtisNew Year

M Y name is Archy Tech, and I became the designer/project manager of one of the biggest architec-

tural jobs of 2015. Our most important client, Douglas Curtis came into the office just before Christmas with a request that just about blew my socks off: a multi-use venue for his annual New Year’s Eve party! Matters be-came even more complicated when it became apparent that my longtime assistant, Rose Waters, seemed to be romantically involved with the client. Ah well… I’m here at the site to do a final inspection of The Explorers’ Club before tonight’s masquerade ball.

S O all in all, I think the client was satisfied with his new multi-use venue, The Explorers’ Club. We all

had a great time celebrating the arrival of the new year. There just might be more work coming from Doug in 2016. Or maybe I should change jobs and become a wedding planner?

Happy new year, everyone!
