Sketchbook

Sketches promote the sharing of ideas at a pure, conceptual level without becoming mired in detail and specifics.

Sketches have been a go-to companion for those who find spur of the moment inspiration allowing for the exploration of thoughts and ideas with their hands. You can express primal feelings, a memory, even a philosophy. It’s a telling exercise about how people think, what is important to them, and the spirit of their thoughts. These little ideas can eventually be turned into greater works of art.

The exterior finish system sealed the old block exterior. A wood and steel canopy anchors the sides and rear, sheltering guests from inclement weather.
