When I came a year ago the building was still under
construction. Originally with a flat roof and quite a different
design. The builder wanted Natasha to change many things after the
building was 3/4 built. She refused to do it all for 2 reasons. One,
the building was already approved and a long process of getting changes approved
was ahead,. Two: they wanted her to do it for free. The builder hired
another Architect and did the changes but soon ran out of money. It was
sold to another who hired yet another Architect after Natasha refused to make
the changes, and came up with this building. The building is vacant as the
city will not approve the building because of all the unapproved changes.
The administration has insisted that they hire Miss Eremeeva to redraw the plans
with the changes and submit them for approval. Natasha has accepted the
offer just as soon as they put the building back the way she originally designed
it.
We walked past the building and had lunch at a surprisingly
good restaurant around the corner.
