Counter Weight


Here's more from the office stairwell. This is the old elevator car's counter weight. Those weights are probably 5 feet wide or so. Quite substantial. I really enjoy the brick in-fill wall behind as well. I dream for the day I have a home where I have old exposed brick walls. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll have a elevator shaft stairwell too.


Sometime soon I'd like to start drawing my house, as it is in my mind that is. Although my ideas for it are continually growing. Particularly when I find architectural elements like this that expand my thoughts on what I'd like. I ought to put them on paper and record the progression.


Who knew a counter weight could be so inspirational?
