Helping someone else dream

Last year a local couple asked me to help them design their new house. Their architect had already done much of the planning work but they weren't satisfied with the way the outside was looking. They wanted something more whimsical and fun. They had seen our house and felt I was the guy to help them with their dream. I listened carefully to their thoughts and then set to work with my pen. I didn't need to make any major changes to the plan but adjusted rooflines, the shape, sizes and locations of windows and the final finishes on the exterior. The couple was delighted with the result.

The house is now under construction and they have called me back from time to time to help them pick finishes, colours and materials and make practical adjustments as necessary. The house is looking spectacular and as it becomes more finished will get even cooler every day. 

Rich in colour and detail

The process of painting the scale model of the Hazelnut Inn is exactly the same as it will be for the real thing when we build it, save for the scale. As we considered the model we selected a range of colours and bought them in gallon quantities. They are the very same paints we will use on the real thing when the time comes in a few months. The base colours are layered on and then custom glazes are applied creating an incredible richness. The result is breathtaking as it will be on the inn itself. I can hardly wait to see the entire model in colour!

Telephone pole forest

The telephone poles for Loco Landing Adventure Park need only a few more details to be finished. We put them on the stands for shipping on Monday. They look even cooler than I imagined they would. They will definitely add a whole lot of character to the facility!
