Evolution+refinement - the backyard Folly

9/8/2013

The best thing about being married to another architect is that you have someone at arms length to bounce ideas off of.   Ideas that can be developed, enhanced, questioned, and challenged. 

The worst thing is that you have someone at arms length there to squash your ideas, or worst  yet, think of something better, making you question why  you got yourself into the whole mess to begin with.  

But really, it's mostly good stuff--I promise.
So, I present the Backyard Folly + Porch.  This, of course, was Bart's suggestion though we worked out the details together.  Brilliant, isn't it?  I can't believe the design didn't present itself sooner.  Of course one needs a covered porch.  How else can you enjoy the outdoors?  In Texas.  In the summer, no less!

So that is it.  The Backyard Folly is finally out of my system.  Well, unless there is someone out there who would like us to build one!  And why not?  Just think how jealous the Jones' will be to see your fantastically unique, comfortably modern, backyard studio?....or workshop, or yoga room, or cabana....Compare that to their boring old shed.  Brilliant.

Love it!! I can see another option, the skin that wraps it could even be more extruded, and in lieu of columns there is a perforated "shell". Play with that.....
