Located in Northwest Arkansas, the 144 square foot private Observatory was constructed for an amateur astronomer as a functional and unique space for viewing the day and night sky. Unlike the domed structures of major observatories, some amateur astronomers create observatories by building a shed with a roof that slides off to the open sky. Where a dome establishes an enclosed space that sees the sky through a narrow opening, the shed observatory has a sense of enclosure with the advantage of seeing the total sky above.
