If you’ve ever witnessed a construction project from start to finish, you know it goes through various stages of looking either too big or too small. For instance, when you’ve got concrete footings down for walls, a building looks small. When you start to frame it in, it looks larger. When you hang drywall, it looks bigger still.
It’s an odd phenomenon. I don’t know if it has a name, but I’ve talked to others about it, so I know it’s not just me that experiences this.
It reminds me of the “Doctor Who” joke about the TARDIS — it’s bigger on the inside.
That’s a long way of saying that Hilltop Grand Village seems larger all the time.
Each time I visited over the winter, it grew physically, from the south wing, then the core was added, and then the north wing. But inside, too, it just looks bigger, especially as the finish work progresses. Maybe it’s because your eyes and brain don’t have to put up walls over studs. Instead of remembering that you really won’t be able to see into the adjoining apartments, your eyes and brain can focus on this nearly finished space and how spacious it seems.
I can’t wait for the real walls to go up in the core where we’ll have Broadway and our common areas. I can see it in my mind, but I bet it’s going to look bigger, still.
Cool! I was thinking that today about the outside too.
I would love to see a floor plan of the whole facility.
Thx for all the info when we visited today.
We have lots of plans, but not something that would reproduce well on the website. We will have paper plans available when we begin meeting with people who are interested in living at Hilltop Grand Village. Thank you for your interest.
