Edging closer to my seventh year living in the Longhouse, I've now begun my own design practice within these four walls. It's inspired broader thoughts about how to expand the singular form of the Longhouse. There are typically two approaches architects take when adding to existing structures. One is to treat the addition as separate and distinct, the other is to integrate it in an additive way. My preference tends toward the first. It appeals to my design sensibilities as it's just a simpler treatment. 30X40 Design Workshop : Farm Series Enter the Modern Farm Series by my (relatively new) studio, 30X40 Design Workshop. This series of modern home plans draws inspiration from the classic farmstead. Linked outbuildings were common in farms which were added to over time as the needs of the farm changed. Main houses were connected to barns with structures termed ‘little houses’ and ‘back houses’. The buildings were each carefully positioned in the landscape and near each other so as to shelter against the local prevailing winds, to collect sunlight, and temper the climate surrounding their everyday chores. I'm still gravitating toward long, thin building volumes as they maximize the amount of light available to the living spaces and I just prefer the way they look proportionally. However, the morphology of the plan has changed a bit now it's more focused on a pod concept each of which contains a single function - living, sleeping and specialty pods. The pods are separated physically, but linked together with a flat roofed volume containing service spaces (hallway, bath, closets + storage). By separating into pods, the plans can create private retreats within a small plan footprint. They're also free to adapt to different site conditions, shifting topography, solar orientation, etc. I've developed a few basic layouts and continue to push this further each week. I've posted an introductory video on my studio's website...please stay tuned as I'll be releasing the plans throughout the Spring of 2014.

After meeting two calves at Asher's Farm Sanctuary in Pretoria, I was inspired to ditch animal products and become vegan. I shot a series of portraits of the rest of the farm animals at Asher's to convey to non-vegan people just how full of character pigs, goats, sheep, cows and chickens are and to inspire people viewing the photographs to connect with the animals as individuals, not just a source of food.

I first discovered Full Belly Farm when I went searching for information about the Capay Valley during Almond season. I found my way to a blossoming almond trail, and then to the newsletter for Full Belly Farm.

This series has been slightly neglected as life has got in the way, I messaged around my friends to see who was free to join me for a catch up and to cross one more London cafe off my list. I'm sure this name might ring a bell from some the tags of your favourite bloggers with their picturesque flatlays, latte art and courtyard ootd's but I thought I would check it out for myself. Notting Hill has to be one of my favourite areas in London. I can't help but walk around in awe of peoples beautiful homes, envy the variety of their markets and become filled with the sense of community. This place has so much to offer and Farm Girl is certainly a well-loved stopping point for all who visit. Tucked away off Portobello Road it is easy to find and not far from both the station or the market. Going on a weekend just after lunchtime a queue was expected but on the plus side went down a lot quicker than anticipated. The main part is that it was worth the wait! We both sat down on the seating outside surprised that the London weather had taken a break from the rain and wanted to make the most of the small bit of sunshine that was peaking through. Scanning through the menu it was clear to see the involvement of some nutritional ingredients in so many of their dishes, making the decision on what to have twice as hard. To drink I opted for the 'What A Melon Water' as I hadn't fully decided and impulse picked to the waiter because I thought the idea of Watermelon Juice sounded amazing (which it was). I was side eyeing my friends latte but having already had my coffee dose for the day and didn't want to end up overly high on caffeine - trust me no one wants to see that. To eat I chose the Açai Bowl which I have become a big fan of in the past couple of months. Every time I have one I feel full but also fulfilled. I'm not craving something else after, I'm not feeling heavy or bloated and I'm defiantly not regretting my choice. Filled with organic frozen Amazonian berries blended with banana & almond milk topped with coconut shavings & chia seeds this was something I couldn't resist. I added granola to bring an extra texture in to the mix and to ensure it would be enough to fill me up right up until dinner. On the other hand my friend opted for the Berry Pancakes made from Benoit’s buckwheat mix with amber maple syrup, peppermint & fresh strawberries sprinkled with coconut shavings - which as you can see from the images looks insane! One thing I like in particular is the fact their produce is selected carefully from the New Covent Garden Market, right here in London. It makes it that little bit more special, not only supporting a flourishing independent cafe but also them giving back to the local community where we live. It's the freshness and quality that keep people going back for more... and maybe those instagrammable pink tables. Shop My Look: Let me know if you have been to any of the Cafe's I have recommended in this series, I would love to hear your thoughts.
