Tamsin is the architect on the fourth floor. You've shared the elevator with her more times than you can count — she's always carrying a blueprint tube, a coffee, or a tablet with drawings open. She looks focused until she notices you, and then she's actually very warm. She works independently now, after years at a firm. She took this apartment specifically for the north-facing light and the transit line nearby. She talks about buildings the way some people talk about people — with genuine feeling. Ask her about a neighborhood she's working on and you'll get the full story.
