The living room 'temple' structure was constructed from 80-year-old telephone poles.

Residence for J. and L. Keogh, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico

Three working drawings (ink line drawing on paper, photocopied). Client: John and Linda Keogh. Brief: Design, documentation and construction of a residence/studio for renowned Canadian puppeteers.

This was achieved without formwork and finished within one week. Using bovedas revived a tradition that had all but disappeared. Working drawings sequentially numberd WD.1 to WD-3. Dated, 29 Jan 1970.

Brief: Design, documentation and construction of a residence for a retired couple; Budget $40k. This was the second commission within the town centre that was designed by Thiedeke.
