THE SUMMER HEADQUARTERS (March 10, 2011)
I dreamt that I visited a complex known as the summer headquarters of a large company someplace in Vermont or New Hampshire. I do not remember what the company was about, but most likely it had to do with design. There were two lumpy buildings on a small island in a slightly bigger lake. There were no buildings anywhere around the complex. The cars were parked on the lake shore far from it, as well. One building was red with a touch of raspberry, while the other was lemon yellow. The indistinct shapes only accentuated the bright colors. The company was founded and run by two partners, apparently designers both, and each building bore one of their names, which I do not remember any longer. But the partners’ signatures were daubed in grass green in one corner of the yellow building, which spoiled the design for me. I remember that this particular feature was generally considered rather controversial, but this was the first time that designers put their signatures on such a large structure. When I woke up, I kept marveling at the colors, which remained vibrant for a long time. That touch of raspberry was just brilliant.
