Watch this story
“Places, spaces, stuff, it doesn’t really mean much until a person arrives. It’s just potential energy. But then suddenly, something shows up, and a story seeps into it, gives that thing life. Seems like a great deal of life is spent looking for a space for your story…and for that story to become home… even if it’s only for a little while” – Norman.
