Waiting to happen.



I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with some great people last week completing this dry stone wall structure.  The Gothic arch pyramid greenhouse was a design I had come up with a long time before it ever was realized. Our client saw it last year and gave us a wonderful opportunity to build it and provided a beautiful space to build it in
It is not often one gets to create something so iconic. 
Not appearing to be reminiscent of anyone else's work or at all derivative of any other specific structure, this unique dual-gabled folly with its diagonally laid stonework looks so convincingly 'right' that it gives the impression of being 'inevitable'. I can't help but think it was merely waiting to be revealed. Thanks to Sean Adcock, Dave Claman, Sean Smyth, Akira Inman and Evan Oxland for helping make it happen.
