Dear Maximillian,
Sebastian has had a change of mind on the bar location. Initially he wanted a commercial bar, as you know, but now he feels that a more intimate home bar would be better. It will establish the group of friends well and more intimately before they all go on their adventure together. Can you please send through some references for a more intimate home-bar setting urgently? Sebastian would also like it to have a view.

Dear Leigh,
Please find the link to one location I think could work, and also some photos of a second location that I think is also in line with Sebastian’s vision. I actually agree with him—it would be much nicer to see the friends together in a more intimate setting. The first one is an hour out of town, great home bar, overlooking the sea. It is very modern and minimalist and has won several architectural-design awards. The second one has a more casual, homely feel, but has a great view too. They both have good, spacious home bars, but the houses have very, very different feels. Please let me know if any of these work. If not, I will have a look at what else I have and what else I could find.

Dear Maximillian,
Sebastian does not like the first location at all. He says it looks too impersonal, like a “rich people’s morgue.” He loves the second location. He says, “At least it looks like dead people don’t live there.” He would like me to go through and do a tech recce of the place and see if it works for us. Please can you arrange that asap. Preferably today or tomorrow. Sebastian would like to shoot the location at sunset, so arrange for this time, please.
Regards,

Dear Leigh,
I can arrange it for this afternoon? I will send the location to your phone, the owner is very flexible, and says you can go through anytime to see the place.
