  • 1.  media opportunity - oddly shaped lots

    Posted 05-21-2015 01:17 PM

    A WSJ reporter is working on a story and is interested in speaking to an architect for possible inclusion in the article.  Her story is about houses built on very oddly-shaped lots.  She plans on featuring a couple creatively-designed homes that are shoehorned into unusual spaces.   She is looking for houses built within the past 5 years or so, where both the architect and homeowner would be open to speaking with her about the property (and ideally, be open to being photographed as well - though she could use existing images of the property)

    She would love to hear from an architect that has worked on a project that fits the description above, as soon as possible, though her deadline isn't until the end of next week (5/29).  If you can help her out, please contact her directly:

     Thank you again for your help!
