While I spend time in Ontario dreaming up some new projects the crew is busy back home making others real. They spent their day in the Under Hill Suite of the Hazelnut Inn tying lath onto the complex armatures that form the roots and rocks of the walls and ceiling. Keith sits on an overturned bucket as he works on the area above the big soaker tub. To the untrained eye, it looks like a jumble of steel and wire but things are quickly taking shape. It won’t be long until we begin the sculpting. Stay tuned…
Next project!
Peter and I are often asked which is our favourite project. The answer never varies… the next one! While we look back on countless amazing projects we always anticipate the next. The next project will undoubtedly take us where we’ve never been before. It will raise our bar higher than ever. Each new project will challenge us as never before. Today, I had the privilege to dream about exciting projects for next year and beyond with two clients. Ideas were shared and discussed, and they were designed and redesigned on the fly as we chatted. Anything is possible at this stage and as we explored various ideas I scribbled frantically in my sketchbook creating ‘notes’ that would guide me as things progress in the coming days and weeks. We made wonderful progress and settled on the beginnings of some wonderful projects. I enclose one of those sketches for your enjoyment… This is going to be fun and will most definitely be a favourite project…. until the next one…
NEB's entry - phase one complete
I am currently at NEB’s Fun World in Oshawa, Ontario doing a few minor touchups to the entry facade we designed and fabricated this past year. The NEB’s crew did a fabulous job assembling this massive feature! It measures fifty-three feet wide and about thirty-two feet high at the peak. It was fun to watch guests as they entered the facility to be greeted by the new, fun edifice. Many posed by the NEB’s logo for a photo. While here I’ll also be measuring up the adjoining wall for an equally impressive addition as next year’s first project. It is going to be fun! Stay tuned…
