Lena, in Greek, means "sunlight". I love houses with names; it helps me give the architectural rendering a personality. Most often, I get project names like House 1, which doesn't inspire me much. For this series, I wanted a lot of contrast between light and shadow, so you can really see sunlight.

In a few years, I'll be an empty nester. I anticipate it not being easy since I live for my family. However, I am looking forward to downsizing. Right now, my wife, two kids, and I live in a 5,000 square foot house, that we literally utilize less than half of that. When the nest is empty, I am downsizing to one of these little houses.
