<p>Unlike some prototypes running in ultra dark environs with boxed-in rear enclosures, you can see we made this to work in a heavily daylit environment with nothing whatsoever blocking in the rear side of the glass. We also didn&#8217;t just design art software, but equal parts art and utility: responsible for selling multi-million dollar homes for a premium showroom in Bellevue, just outside Seattle. We made it dynamic of course so that realtors could update sold/availibility, a 2-building 3D model &#8230;  <H3>Help answer the question about Condominium Design</H3>!!!Logic Puzzle Help!!!?<br />I solved the puzzle.

<p>Architecture Grants<br />
After working on blueprints for many long hours, five architects were thrilled to hear that they had each been awarded a grant for a different amount of money ($1,000, $2,000, $3,000, $4,000, or $5,000).  Each architect received the grant to work on a different project (including a condominium complex).  Using the following clues, can you make each architect with his or her project and the amount he or she won?<br />
1.Marvin received $2,000 more than the architect who designed a stadium (who isn&#039;t Wilson).<br />
2.The architect who designed an opera house received more than the one who made blueprints for a government building (who didn&#039;t receive $1,000).<br />
3. Lance&#039;s award was for $4,000; neither Charlotte nor Olive received $1,000.<br />
4.Olive won a grant for her design of a museum.<br />

<p> he elements of interior design consist of everything that you can see and touch within an enclosed space. Buildings, offices, homes, condominiums, apartments are all examples of enclosed spaces, and therefore they all consist of the various elements that compose interior design. The most common interior design elements include space, color, texture, light, and fabrics. However, there are also the basic principles of design. These are harmony, bal<span id="more-37"></span>ance, focus or focal point, rhythm, proportion, and color.</p>
<p class="first-child "><span title="T" class="cap"><span>T</span></span>he most obvious element of interior design is space. When it comes to designing a room, choosing fabrics, selecting furniture, or arranging lighting you will always be bound to the space configurations that are inherent in the room. Understanding how to work with the space you’ve been presented with is one of the most important aspects of interior designs. Many designers have mastered the art of taking a small space and making it look larger, or maximizing a room’s potential by working with the space they’ve been given. Basically, space can be defined as a three dimensional structure that consists of distance, area, and volume. Interior designers transform empty space into a work of visual beauty and art.</p>
<p>Harmony can be considered as the thread that weaves itself throughout the space, connecting one room to another. When considering interior design, it is important to realize that every room is part of a whole. Therefore, the designer usually chooses color to connect one room to another. There is a wide variety of ways and methods that interior design is used to create harmony in living spaces, but color is the most defining way.</p>
<p>In addition to harmony, balance is another very important interior design principle. There are three types of balance, these are asymmetrical, symmetrical, and radial symmetry. Asymmetrical balance is a very common aspect of interior design. It is represented when objects are not placed or arranged in a fashion that lines up evenly. Asymmetrical balance is revered in interior design for its ability to present movement and keeps lines flowing in an interesting arrangement.</p>
<p>Symmetry is inherent in the human form. The human face is full of symmetry with both sides being a mirror image of the other. Therefore, in interior design as well as interior decorating, many people openly embrace symmetry. Arranging matching items on two sides of an object is very popular. Symmetry brings balance and plays an important role in interior design. The other type of balance is radial. Radial is when the symmetry of a space is centered or focused around an object.</p>
<p>Another important aspect of focus is developing a specific focal point in a room. A focal point is used to draw the eye or line of sight when someone first looks at a room. There are many ways in which interior design creates a focal point. However, there are typically a number of tools that designers use. These include line, color, and the overall plan or layout of the room.</p>

The only problem is that the contractors we know who work in the downtown area either specialize in condominiums or basic remodels.  All of the new home builders we know would probably charge extra to come downtown.  Does anyone know of a general contractor that works in the downtown area.  We&#039;ll be doing smaller (about 2500 s.f.) single family residences that are a bit on the contemporary side design wise.<br />

<p> <strong>1900’s </strong>– The typical 1900’s home was built not for décor but, more so for function. You would almost always see these homes built out of brick. Typically these homes were quite confined inside, the front parlor and kitchen would be the two largest rooms in the home. The front room would normally be styled with items that symbolized the families status, such as vases or statuettes, the kitchen is where, as today the meals w<span id="more-35"></span>ere prepared, but more importantly the coal burning range was in there, which was important because it was the main heat source for the house. Bedrooms in your typical 1900’s home would be very small and dimly lit; most children not only shared a room, but a bed as well. If you think your household could use another bathroom or two, be thankful you weren’t living in 1900; bathrooms were a status symbol, wealthier families would be lucky to have a tub, and toilets would rarely be found inside a home.</p>
<p><strong>1910’s</strong> – The homes of 1910’s were quite similar to the homes of 1900, perhaps the only difference is this is when interior designs came into play. The home itself you would probably find wooden floors, paneled walls, the windows are likely to be stained glass, the most noticeable item in a 1910’s home in my opinion would be the fireplace, it would be the focus point of the room, very large hearth placed in an inglenook or recess, you would also notice the mantle to be carved and often there would be a motto above it. When it came to decorating these homes, this is when handmade items became very important, wooden handmade furniture, lots of copper and pewter would also be found in these homes. The most noticeable thing décor wise would have to be hands down the wallpaper, normally made with vegetable dyes and wood blocks.</p>
<p><strong>1920’s</strong> – These years the homes started to make quite a change in design. The homes were now being built noticeably smaller than those of previous years. A new style of housing was also introduced, this was the bungalow, or as we sometimes now call them, ranchers. These are homes with all the living space on only one floor. These houses now had toilets as well. The most distinctive style was the Modern style. Normally the priority was purpose; they avoided decorations and focused on the use of chrome and glass. They would have flat roofs, white concrete walls, and large windows with iron frames. Rather than using decorative items home owners would decorate with their fireplace, furniture, wallpaper, and fabric, often of a brighter color.</p>
<p><strong>1930’s </strong>– In the 1930’s you would still find quite simple architecture and style, mainly due to the fact that during World War II people just had more to worry about than interior decorating. You would find inside colors such as dull greens and browns. Houses tend to be in a semi-detached pairs and owned rather than rented. Due to the shortage of timber, the trussed roof was introduced, this is a factory made roof that requires little skill to erect, but provides no attic space. The more modern style of these years was called the sun-trap, the main goal for this style was to receive as much natural light as possible, so they introduced the big curved windows.</p>
<p><strong>1940’s </strong>– Starting in 1940 there was a more modern or contemporary look. These would be one or two storey homes or even a split level home. They would have large windows, open floor plans, and horizontal lines with simple details. One of the most noticeable things you might see is the fact the front porches of the older homes pretty much vanish in the 1940’s homes. During the ‘40’s carpet becomes very common, as do the use of refrigerators. You would find a lot of yellow, metal canister sets, white enamel surfaces, pretty aprons, and chicken &#038; rooster motifs in the kitchen.</p>
<p><strong>1950’s</strong> – This era was all about open spaces. A lot of wood was used such as wood paneled walls, wood walls, although carpet was preferred these days. Very simple designs for the house itself, and the way it was decorated. You would probably see a lot of greens and yellows throughout the home. Also quite popular in decorating these homes were area rugs, lamps, and you guessed it…wallpaper.</p>
<p><strong>1960’s</strong> – Oh the ‘60’s. As far as I’m concerned, you couldn’t have accused anyone of having “no taste” considering the “in thing” was to purposely combine colors that don’t match. Home designs haven’t changed much but interior designing has gone crazy! In most homes you would find shag rugs, also pop art and op art were very popular, pictures of icons, comic strips, etc… covered the walls and the use of pattern and color to simulate movement that op art delivered was everywhere, whether it be crazy mismatched colors or the oh so famous black and white, this was a very “far out” time.</p>
<p> <strong>1970’s</strong> –  Similar to the ‘50’s in the sense that the more space the better, people were wanting big, bright, open spaces, lots of sundecks and porches were added onto homes of the ‘70’s. There was still a bit of color in decorating but quite calmer than the years in the ‘60’s. You would notice some homeowners remodeling older homes, or even converting, barns, clock towers, carriage houses, and stables into homes. Eclecticism in interior design continued to grow throughout the ‘70’s. Meaning people would use older styles and blend them into their new styles.</p>
<p> <strong>1980’s</strong> – Homes built during the 1980’s tend to be quite boxy, often homes had vaulted ceilings. Inside these homes you would find items such as the halogen lamp, and waterbeds in the bedrooms. Finally these are the years when people decided to invest in their kitchens, now used as a hub of the house, rather than just for function people would spend time entertaining there. You would see a lot of brass throughout the home, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.</p>
<p> <strong>1990’s </strong>– During the 1990’s it became imperative to build affordable housing, the most common were 2-story, split-level, and the condominium was becoming quite popular. You would most likely find a lot of homes with skylights in them. The décor you’d find inside the home would be very soft colors, lots of gadgets such as home theatres, automatic garage door openers, garbage disposals, intercom systems, and anything electronic. One of the biggest changes would be the main floor laundry rooms, as opposed to previous years where they would have been in the basement.</p>
<p> <strong>2000’s</strong> – The 2000’s are very much about status, you will find a lot of cosmetics added to homes outside and in, such as professionally landscaped property, lots of lights, additions, skylights, etc… you are sure to find condominiums to be the new “it”, they are everywhere, people are concerned about space so we build up rather than out. Inside of these homes are quite incredible actually, you’ll find items such as digital thermostats, digital ovens, anything digital. The use of Stainless Steel has become very common, beautiful light fixtures; a lot of homes have home offices in them, as more and more people are working from the comfort of their own homes. A lot of people think of their home as their own little museum where you can display all of what you’ve accomplished and we show who we are by the way e decorate our homes…can’t wait to see what the 2010’s have in store for us.</p>

Breathtaking views of both Bay and Ocean are only the beginning. Indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, private and enclosed garage parking, even a magnificent Bay front &#8230;  <H3>Help answer the question about Condominium Design</H3>What are the &quot;standard&quot; rules of order to validate that a private vs. open vote can be called on by voters?<br />This would be for a condominium homeowner&#039;s association (HOA) where the Bylaws are silent as to the MANNER in which votes are to be, or can be taken.  There is nothing that specifies whether a show of hands is appropriate, a voice call of &quot;yea&quot; or &quot;nay&quot;, or whether a private or closed ballot on pieces of paper administered by the appropriate HOA officer (e.g. the Secretary) is the right method.  Some issues are minor where a show of hands or voice vote is all that is necessary.  Other issues, such as the election of Officers, are more important such that a call for a private ballot is more appropriate, particularly when we are dealing with a tightly knit group of neighbors.</p>
<p>The inclination of the current administration is to hold all meetings in the President&#039;s home (despite protests to hold them elsewhere) and to call for all votes by hand or voice so she can see who votes for what.  When asked to conduct a vote by paper ballot, she laughs it off as unnecessary trouble she doesn&#039;t want to bother with and since she is the President and this is her home, she feels she can make people do things however she wants.</p>
<p>My design is propose an amendment to the Bylaws establishing a rule of order whereby a closed ballot can be taken if called for by some number of voters.  Since this is individual confidentiality belonging to each person and not a group, I&#039;m thinking that if even ONE voter calls for a closed or private ballot, that call must be obliged.  </p>
<p>Do I have any standard rules of order to draw on for support of this Bylaw amendment, i.e. Robert&#039;s Rules of Order?  Note that I will get resistance from the President and her puppet administration if I suggest any means by which her reign of undue influence might end, so I am looking for something written about voting rules that I can draw on for support versus just an idea I had which she will attempt to discredit (as she does all my good ideas that she never thought of first or fears may challenge her judgment which is very self-serving&#8230;much like some of the politicians we have in Washington right now&#8230;ahem&#8230;)</p>

<p class="first-child "> <span title="S" class="cap"><span>S</span></span>omeone forgot to tell Dallas that the real estate market has cooled off. </p>
<p>This booming, major metropolitan area has enjoyed phenomenal growth in the condominium sector thanks, in part, to its four-star restaurants, unsurpassed cultural activities, world-class shopping, a flourishing financial and business district and a spectacular skyline, all of which have attracted young professionals and baby boomers looking for a simplified<span id="more-28"></span>, exciting lifestyle. </p>
<p>Old industrial sights and abandoned neighborhoods have given way to condo living at its finest throughout Dallas. Much of the growth has been attributed to Dallas’ efficient, light rail system, which allows professionals to ditch the car in favor of more resourceful means of transportation. What could be better than residing in a high-rise, luxury condominium, just steps from all of the excitement and opportunities of the city? Well, how about a panoramic, city view. Or a putting green. Or a rooftop, saltwater swimming pool. Or a full-service spa. Yep, this is what condo living in Dallas is all about.</p>
<p>Whether you enjoy Uptown’s trendy, urban district with chic restaurants and high-profile developments, or the art galleries, retail shopping and efficient transportation of the Downtown area, luxury condominiums are catering to young, urban professionals and empty nesters searching for their slice of the condominium pie. And condominium developers are not shy when it comes to catering to their residents.  Twelve foot ceilings, hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens and stainless steel appliances are the norm. It’s those other resort-style amenities, like private movie theaters, state-of-the-art fitness centers and acclaimed gourmet restaurants that developers are bringing to the table in hopes of standing apart from the crowd.</p>
<p>And a crowd it is. From Victory Park, to the Arts District, to Turtle Creek, Oak Lawn and Highland Park, condominiums are abundant and thriving. The Residences at Hotel Palomar, for example, located in the upscale, Park Cities community, is a luxury condo and loft community out to impress. This condominium community, aptly named by its developers as an “urban resort,” features over 70 condos on 5.3 acres of land. A full-service spa, gourmet restaurants, boutiques, courtyard villas and the four-star, Hotel Palomar are just a few of the reasons why prices can range anywhere from $300,000 to $2.3 million.</p>
<p>Victory Park is home to the W Dallas Victory Residences, a new condominium high rise which offers stunning, modern architecture with world-class interior designs, floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive terraces with awe-inspiring views. With prices ranging anywhere from $400,000 to $7 million, it’s no wonder that top-notch amenities, such as residential concierge service, a 24-hour valet service, an infinity pool and a full-service spa, are found here.</p>
<p>Just some of the other Dallas condo gems to be had include: Azure, which is built upon 15 acres and features 10, open floor plans with a luxurious, European design; Mercer Square, which is located just minutes from Downtown and boasts modern architecture and magnificent, Dallas views; and the Sorrento, which is located in North Dallas and features resort-style amenities and up to 2,890 square feet of living space.</p>
<p>According to Downtown Dallas, the number of new residences built within one mile of Dallas’ central business district area has increased five-fold over the last ten years. And based on the cranes hanging out all over Dallas, it looks like the boom is here to stay.</p>

CALL WILSON + &#8230;  <H3>Help answer the question about Condominium Design</H3>options for long term (up to 3 months at a time) parking in ft. Lauderdale?<br />I am an American citizen living abroad. I sold my home when I moved away, but have decided to buy a small condominium and a car for use when I go to Florida. I generally go every three months or so. The town I intend to buy in is about two hours drive from the Ft. Lauderdale airport, so I&#039;d like to find a way to store my car very near the airport while I&#039;m abroad. I want to be able to get off the plane, get to my car easily and cheaply (without a $50 cab ride!), and then drive up to my home. When I&#039;m ready to go back overseas, I want to be able to park the car somewhere safe, and get back to the airport quickly and easily. The &quot;long term&quot; parking lots are rather expensive and don&#039;t seem designed for leaving your car more than a couple of weeks. Thanks for any help!<br />
