A taste of paradise

Today we toured a gorgeous residence designed by Laurie Baker. The house belonged to a teacher and a planner who hired Baker to custom design the home, which was absolutely beautiful. Baker, known for working onsite and without blueprints, spent an extraordinary amount of time designing this home. Our host told us stories of how Baker spent time getting to know her, her preferences, and personality before beginning to design. Most of us in the group agreed that we would love to live in a house like this! After our visit we packed into our van and traveled to a major port city in Kerala called Kochi. The most exciting moment of the trip is when we passed a man riding an elephant along the side of the road!
