Backyard Porch

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This is interesting. A tiny, adorable, 1893 Victorian cottage, wedged between buildings in San Francisco, CA was remodeled to look much larger inside. It has 3bds, 3ba, they are not giving the square footage of the house, nor the dimensions of any of the rooms (hmmm...), but the price is $2.385m. It's very skillfully done, but not $2m skillful. Take a look at this little house completely squeezed in between two buildings.

The mini Victorian has a narrow center hall with a sitting room off to the side, just like a large Victorian. It even has pocket doors.

The fireplace is custom made, so I don't think that these are original tiles.

The pocket doors open to a bedroom.

Across the hall from the sitting room there's a cute home office.

Then 3 stairs go down to a very nice dining room. It's so cozy, but not meant for a large dinner party. They installed modern wainscoting, which is what you find in a Victorian dining room.

Tiles similar to the living room fireplace grace the surround.

The kitchen is surprisingly roomy and has lots of storage.

The 2nd bedroom is a good size.

The baths are small 3pc. style.

The primary bedroom looks like a new addition and features a beautiful window, a vaulted wood ceiling, and a fireplace.

It also has a nice walk-in closet.

And, an ensuite shower room.

Here's a nice room. It looks like an art studio.

There's a sizeable home gym in the basement.

Plus a utility room.

There's a pretty big garage, too.

I like the porch in front of the house.

There's a surprisingly nice yard and garden in the back. A couple of decks and a patio on several levels provide plenty space to relax.

Your mouth is dry and gritty as if you inhaled half the desert and, after a swallow, as tacky as a bowling alley floor. The side of your face is cold and wet, but you’re too busy mapping your molars with your sticky-shriveled tongue to bother lifting it. Once you confirm that all your teeth are in their crooked places, your limbs return online. You push, arm shaking, yourself onto your back. Another swallow. Tastes bitter.

When you were dragged to church as a kid, you’d lean in your seat and gaze at the vaulted ceiling and the murals of angels. Did the same with the open sky, staring at rolling clouds or blinking stars. No matter where you were, you relished how small you felt. How insignificant.

The view from the bathroom floor is a lot like that, too. Lends perspective. Partly under the toilet bowl (you’ve got to clean under here better), you stare at chipping paint and watch particulates float lazily on by. You lay there, telling yourself you’ll get up when the world stops turning. But it won’t, will it? It’s spinning and carrying on. You hear the neighbor mowing the lawn and the dog across the street barking at him. The radio is on in the living room, transitioning from music to a talk show. This is all going to carry on without you, and—

Your jaw pops, hinging open to suck in a sudden, desperate gasp for air as if you’re a fish dropped unceremoniously onto the deck of a boat. What you get, what you taste, is turbid and stifling. It tickles your windpipe and forces you to choke as your chest tightens. You clutch your shirt and silently beg the invisible fist around your heart to loosen its grip. Not again, your thoughts slur. Not again. This is getting embarrassing.

It passes. Eventually.

How long you lay there, you don’t know, but the sound of the front door opening and closing a floor down stirs you out of your stupor. You’re dimly aware of John calling for you, his voice steady and level–your name, maybe? Sheer terror and embarrassment keep you pinned on the tile, though at least it lets up just enough to let you curl into the fetal position. It’s gut-wrenching to hear his tone gradually swell from curiosity to concern. 

The bathroom door opens at last, and your eyelids squeeze shut.

“Oh, sweetheart.”

Before he touches you, the light flicks off, and he turns on the tap. He crouches. His knee skims your calves, and a warm hand slides up your back. He fixes your slightly bunched shirt, tugging it down, then rubs circles above your tailbone how you like. He’s talking, too, whispering something you know is kind and tender. It’s an internal tussle of whether or not you want to hear him. The brush of a knuckle over your temple pulls the cotton from your ears.

“–member we’re supposed to take deep breaths, yeah? Can you do that for me? In your nose, out your mouth. C’mon, with me,” He murmurs, tracing the shell of your ear as he demonstrates.

“Can’t.” It’s the first word you’ve spoken in hours. It tastes sour.

“‘Course you can. Like me, babe.” 

In. Out. In. Out. In—

“I got my results.” You croak, eyes opening in slivers. Blearily, you turn your head, looking past him to the corner of the bathroom counter.

“In a minute.” 

The hand on your back completes a few more figure eights before John hauls himself to his feet. The dull, muted sound of him punching in your passcode and typing keeps you tethered. You both hold your breath for very different reasons.

“I see,” John says a moment later, “I see.” 

With some convincing, he maneuvers your body into a seated position, leaning you against the tub. He doesn’t complain, scrubbing the toilet and floor clean of your sick and taking breaks to rub your shins and give you sips of water.

“Bed or bath?”

“Bath.”

He hoists you by the armpits and sits you on the toilet, briefly cupping your face in his hands. Scarred knuckles and palms thickened with calluses; they’re the softest things you’ve ever felt. After checking your eyes and pressing a kiss to your forehead, he starts the tub and carefully undresses you. 

“Join me?” You ask, leaning into him as he helps you step out of your jeans and underwear, fingers skimming the keloid on his shoulder blade.

A warm puff of air and a kiss to your neck. “Need or want?”

Sometimes, you need him in the shower when the shampoo bottle is impossible to lift.

“Both.”

He hums, sits you back down, then strips.

John climbs in first, offering his arm and supporting you by the hip as you follow. He situates your back to his chest, rubbing your elbows after you adjust. It’s a tight squeeze in a tub realistically meant for one, but he never complains. Steam curls off the water’s surface, and sweat beads at your neck. He kisses it anyway.

“Do you want to talk about it?” He asks after a time, voice rumbling through your spine.

Tracing the scars on his arm and comparing them to your own, you consider. 

When you first started dating, it took months for you to let John see you with the lights on. So used to partners seeing the brutal constellation of marks, self-inflicted and surgical, and finding reason to flip off the light. Used to them suggesting clothes with sleeves and layers. You can’t recall what changed your mind to let him have you in the morning light so long ago, but you remember how he looked at you. How, before he even really touched you, he studied each of them. Invited you to do the same. A new kind of intimacy that told you how well your bodies fit together in more ways than just the one. It lent perspective.

“Later, in bed. I’m tired.”

An arm bands around your stomach, settling you closer. You don’t feel small with John. You don’t feel insignificant.

“Alright. I’ve got you.”

You feel like the world.

Chapters: 4/4

Words: 33k

Relevant tags: Zuko-centric, dual POV, Time Travel, Lieutenant Jee being a reluctant father figure, many mentions of the Air Nomad genocide.

Summary:

The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use. The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.

Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier. This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail. It’s time to scheme.

Snippet from Ch 4:

If the rest of the crew is to be believed, nothing in the atmosphere has changed—except that, perhaps, it is lighter, easier to breathe through. None cut corners, but none are scared to cut corners either. The sheer empathy the Prince is capable of fosters a comfort that Jee has never once experienced on a warship.

But then, this isn’t a warship, is it? The Wanyi is a floating bucket of rust sailing with the sole purpose of finding the Avatar, of teaching their Crown Prince worldly things. There is no true pressure. Prince Zuko will not find the Avatar, and everybody knows it, and nobody cares about it either. 

Jee knows, however, and can read that there is a line of tension strung in the air. Where the others are ignorant of it, Jee’s job is positioned too close to the royals for him not to notice the glances, the nods, the looks between the Prince and his uncle. 

“Would you say all crewmembers are trustworthy, Lieutenant?” 

Jee pauses in his stretch. Prince Zuko, who had been mirroring him, does not; goes further until his upper thigh is mere inches from the deck. 

“In what way, my Prince?” he asks. 

“That they are under my command only,” the Prince clarifies. “Not also my father’s.” 

Jee does not speak immediately, does not say ‘yes, of course’ as is his knee-jerk response. Because, are they? They likely are, but Ensign Asami’s mother works in the palace; but Seaman Keiji’s little brother is part of the royal guard; but Recruits Kazumi and Ohta are still, as of now, entranced by Fire Nation imperialism rather than disillusioned with all the death and rot. 

“I’d say yes,” he says slowly, thoughtfully, “but I cannot be sure they won’t… talk, Your Highness. Things that can filter down—or up, if you will.”

Prince Zuko’s little face furrows in thought and consideration. He nods. 

“Thank you for your honesty, Lieutenant,” he says, and then he adds, “it’s always been my favourite thing about you.” 

That says so much and so little. Jee is nevertheless flattered, and bows. 

“Onto the katas then?” 

“Yes.” The Prince smiles at him, cheeks squishing into mochi. Jee kind of wants to ruffle the kid’s neat hair and then kind of wants to slap himself for being so sappy. “Let’s do it.”

The World's Skinniest Skyscraper

The designers behind the world's skinniest skyscraper have just given fans of ultra-luxury living an early Christmas gift.

New York-based firm Studio Sofield has unveiled the interiors of Steinway Tower, the newly constructed 1,428-foot-tall tower overlooking Central Park. The announcement marks the completion of the opulent midtown Manhattan landmark, which was built on a site once occupied by the historic Steinway & Sons piano company.

The 91-story skyscraper, also known as 111 West 57th Street, contains 46 full-floor and duplex residences. Photos released this month by the designers show opulent lobbies decked out in limestone, marble, blackened steel and velvet, floors paved in smoke-gray solid oak and original artworks by Picasso and Matisse.

According to Studio Sofield, Steinway Tower's interiors were designed to evoke the grandeur of New York's Gilded Age, a period in the late 19th century when the city's boulevards were lined with the stately mansions of robber barons like Andrew Carnegie and Cornelius Vanderbilt. It sits on a Midtown street, filled with gleaming towers, that has become known as "Billionaire's Row."

Studio Sofield's founder, William Sofield, said he wanted to make the tower feel unmistakably New York.

"We've all been to very luxurious places, but I wanted to create a building that could not be anywhere else in the world," he said. "I know so many people might have multiple homes, who will have apartments here. And I wanted to create a very distinct experience that could only be had in New York."

A record feat

Elsewhere, the building's interiors include an 82-foot swimming pool housed in a light-filled room featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a row of Kentia palms. There's also a modern take on New York's legendary King Cole Bar, complete with an ornamental balcony and custom gold and silver murals.

Other amenities include private dining rooms with a chef's catering kitchen, a golf simulator and a landscaped terrace.

"I always am very personal in my work," Sofield said. "So (take) the swimming pool, for example ... I didn't want it to feel like a normal swimming pool. It has wood paneling with great detailing and gold leaf details.

"It has a vaulted ceiling," he added. "It has draperies... So it's very unlike any swimming pool you would find in New York."

With a height-to-width ratio of 24:1, Steinway Tower has been described by its developers as "the most slender skyscraper in the world." The tower's facade includes blocks of terracotta, a material that appears to change color and texture when seen in different lights and from different angles.

At 1,428 feet, it is also one of the tallest buildings in the Western hemisphere, standing just short of two others in New York City: The 1,776-foot-tall One World Trade Center and the 1,550-foot-tall Central Park Tower.

Super-slender skyscrapers, also known as pencil towers, became standout features of the Hong Kong skyline in the 1970s. Since then, major cities such as New York have followed suit.

Residences in the Manhattan skyscraper, which was developed by the JDS Development Group and Property Markets Group, range in price from $7.75 million to $66 million.

I guess you can say that if you want to build a desert home, this is the way to do it. This is the 1957 "The Cedar House," in Twentynine Palms, CA. It has 2bds, 2ba, has been meticulously maintained, and the asking price is $899K.

It's technically a mid-century modern, but I thought it was a newer contemporary. Beautiful open concept living room with a glass wall view of the large deck and desert scenery.

Love this niche wall. And, it's lit.

Wow, look at the long counter and how many it can seat.

Lovely kitchen. Look at the big niche in that wall.

Vaulted ceiling, matching cabinetry and nice composite counters.

Large primary bedroom suite.

Love the shower tile. I'm gonna say that the toilet is behind that door.

Key Considerations When Hiring Home Builders for Split-Level Homes

Are you considering the exciting prospect of building a split-level home? The unique architectural design of split-level homes presents a distinctive charm, offering a multi-dimensional living experience that beautifully complements the natural landscape. However, taking on such a project requires thoughtful planning, especially when it comes to selecting the right house-build in Auckland who can bring your vision to life.

Before embarking on this intriguing journey, it's essential to consider several key factors that will contribute to the success of your project and the creation of your dream split-level home.

Expertise in Building Split-Level Homes

The cornerstone of your split-level home project is finding home builders Auckland with a deep understanding and experience in constructing split-level homes. Look for builders who have a proven track record of successfully completing split-level projects, showcasing their expertise in managing the unique challenges presented by this architectural style.

Assessing their portfolio and engaging in detailed discussions about past projects will provide valuable insight into their capabilities and commitment to delivering exceptional results for your custom split-level home.

Customisation and Design Flexibility

Building a split-level home offers a canvas for creativity and innovation in architectural design. When selecting home builders, prioritise those who offer a high degree of customisation and design flexibility. It's essential that the builders are receptive to your ideas and can skilfully translate your vision into a well-crafted design plan.

Look for builders who are enthusiastic about embracing unique features such as open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, and creative spatial arrangements. A builder's receptiveness to customisation will play a pivotal role in creating a split-level home that perfectly aligns with your lifestyle and preferences.

Structural Integrity and Foundation Expertise

The varying elevations and multiple floors inherent in split-level homes demand a thorough understanding of structural integrity and foundation expertise. It's crucial to engage home builders who possess a comprehensive understanding of the unique structural demands associated with split-level construction.

Inquire about their approach to ensuring stability and durability, especially when the home is situated on sloped or uneven terrain. A builder with a strong foundation in engineering and construction will provide the assurance of a structurally sound split-level home built to stand the test of time.

Integration of Outdoor Spaces and Landscaping

Embracing the outdoor living experience is a hallmark of split-level homes. When choosing home builders, seek those with a keen eye for seamlessly integrating outdoor spaces and landscaping into the home's design. A skilled builder will capitalise on the natural topography, creating harmonious connections between indoor and outdoor living areas.

Look for builders who excel in incorporating terraces, decks, and landscaping elements that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal and functionality of your split-level home.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Features

In today's architectural landscape, a strong emphasis is placed on energy efficiency and sustainable living. When vetting potential home builders, prioritise those who align with your commitment to eco-friendly practices. Inquire about their approach to utilising sustainable building materials, integrating energy-efficient systems, and implementing environmentally conscious design elements.

By partnering with builders who prioritise sustainability, you can create a split-level home that not only minimises its environmental impact but also offers long-term cost savings and energy efficiency.

Conclusion

As you venture into the realm of building a split-level home, focusing on these key considerations when selecting home builders Auckland will play a pivotal role in shaping the success of your project. By making informed choices, you can set the foundation for a collaborative and rewarding home-building experience that culminates in the realisation of your ideal split-level home.
