“In an effort to encourage denser development, Gov. Jared Polis signed a new bill into law on Tuesday to allow smaller apartment buildings in Colorado to be built with a single staircase, instead of the two previously required by building codes.”

Really cool, interesting, and informative presentation tonight by Teass\Warren architects for NJ SFx about Missing Middle residential design. Made me think a lot. And that's always a good thing.

Really makes me regretful for not being in a firm like that anymore, and doing interesting and beneficial work.

And, at the same time, thinking about how to connect with firms like that, who aren't on big recruiting platforms.
