A Japanese guy from Spain is writing to ask if I’d like to see an apartment. It was Sunday. We’re standing in a cleaned-out apartment. The investors explain to me that the construction company is coming tomorrow. They ask if it’s possible? They understand the argument that one pretty picture with a luxfer wall won’t be enough for the construction company.

I talked the first construction company out of the investors. The second one, after probing the neighbors’ pantry for jars, was not recommended. The third one was a cowgirl, literally.I’ve been working with the fourth company ever since.And I know that when I call them to solve a water leak on the roof terrace, they say into the receiver: but that’s no problem.

90% of the furniture is custom-made.
