For those of you who have been with us for awhile, you may remember my obsession with follies back in 2013. For the rest of you, I apologize. I'm not savvy enough nor do I possess the time it would take to convert all my old blog entries into the new website format (which I just had to have and failed to realize the blog would not transfer with it. Read the fine print, people.) Anyway, the topic of the follies have come up often over the last few months. Randomly. This inspired me to put them back on the drawing board and at least play with the imagery. Here's a brief history... |
Each of these concepts was geared around the back yard studio idea. We even had a client that wanted to develop one for his own backyard to operate as a shop & motorcycle garage. It never came to be because we couldn't get the construction budget right--still a point of contention between Bart and I as I think it could be easily scaled back and built out of wood framing. Which brings me to today.
I want to build the plainest, most simple of the follies as a backyard cabana. Or perhaps city park hangout. Or better yet, seating within a beer garden or truck yard setting with live music playing, cold beer, and twinkling garden lights. Can't you picture that? Speak up. I think we can make this happen!
