新刊：The House Planner 2027。家を切り盛りする一年を、紙の上で。 プランナーを見る
ジャーナルのガイド
よく整った家が苦もなく回っているように見えるのは、その手間が書き留められているからです。誰が何をするのか、家をいつ開けていつ閉めるのか、「準備完了」とは何を指すのか、ボイラーが止まったら誰に電話するのか。これらの記事では、ハウスマネージャーの一日から、夏の別荘を冬に向けて閉める作業まで、仕事のそうした側面を扱います。
どの記事も、一つの文書に行き着きます。House Bookです。家ごとに書かれたマニュアルで、人が替わっても、家が覚えていられるようにするためのものです。
現在、記事は英語、イタリア語、ポルトガル語で掲載しています。
The questions to ask before a guest arrives, why the bed comes first, temperature, darkness and quiet, the practical things nobody packs (plugs and Wi-Fi included), the bathroom, the small welcome and the last walk through the room.
Why a steady temperature matters more than the perfect one, how much humidity a cork needs, light, vibration and smells, what to do without a real cellar, how to check the room and why every cellar needs a book.
Why a big house needs a rotation as well as a rota, the daily reset, the weekly round with a few rooms in turn, the monthly places that hide, the seasonal and yearly jobs, and the whole schedule on one page.
What a house manual is and isn't, what goes in it room by room, what must never be written down, how to write one in weeks rather than a year, and how to keep it true and hand it to someone new.
What to write down before the interview, the questions about the work and about discretion that show you who someone is, the questions you must not ask, how to take up references, and how the trial day and the trial period work in Italy and Switzerland.
The checklist we use to close a summer house in October: the weeks before, room by room, linen and silver, the garden and pool, water and heating, security, and what to leave for spring.
A July day in a private house, hour by hour, then the difference between a house manager, butler, estate manager and housekeeper, the mistakes families make when hiring, and how to brief one.
