Photos for Sale at K2
I’m very excited to announce that several prints from my Forest Abstracts series are now hung and for sale at K2, a modern home furnishings store in downtown Asheville! This is the first time I’ve made large prints of my work, and the first time I’ve made them available in a retail outlet.
I designed and built a frame using salvaged barnwood and a nice clean shadowline detail.
What do you think?
pocket shelter on the road
bj and i moved the pocket shelter from west asheville to the shop in swannanoa. she snapped a few shots and a little video from the follow car.
it needs a few little details finished up, so it’s going back to the shop for a little focused attention:
- install the drawer fronts and pulls
- finish and install the composting toilet
- sand and finish the floor
- fix one of the lights
- a few other odds and ends tidied up
i hope to do a little video walk through when it’s all done. lots of people have asked for more finished pictures. stay tuned (:
New Pocket Office in the Works
I’m feeling inspiration to develop a new pocket shelter model. This time, instead of a tiny house, I’m thinking about a small work studio.
It will be 12′ x 12′ x 12′ in order to be small enough to not require a building permit. This helps keep the costs down and also allows for a little creativity in the structural system, which in turns affects the architectural expression.
I’m working on the design right now and am pretty excited about how it’s shaping up. More to come…
Spring Forward
As the trees put out their new growth and the colors of the forest begin to emerge once again, I find myself exploring new pathways, new energies, new collaborations. The major projects of last year, the timber frame pavilion and the garage renovation, are finally complete and I’m exploring what’s next.
Changes
my workshop and studio will be seeing some big changes in the next couple of months. the building that houses my shop in downtown asheville has come under the scrutiny of the city and is not up to fire code. the upgrades necessary to achieve compliance are expensive and not in my plans to undertake. relocation of the workshop is still up in the air. i’ll be creating my new office/design studio at home in west asheville, using a salvaged shipping container as the shell. stay posted for status reports and updates.
the pocket shelter prototype (ps1) is almost finished and will also move home to west asheville once completed. i’ll be posting updated photos and details soon.
