We picked up the permit for the Borthwick 3rd unit recently. As anyone who has legally completed any type of construction project, large or small, will attest, the lead up to and subsequent submittal into the permit process is just that, a process. For this project, the process was especially involved as we negotiated a building code appeal, a reconsideration of said appeal, check sheets, design revisions, and the inherently complicated nature of adding a third unit to a duplex, rather than starting from scratch. We owe a debt of gratitude to the designer, Kai Yonezawa, for helping to guide us at each step of the way.
