West Virginia Leafy Cottage My wife was raised on Flat Top Mountain in Southern West Virginia South of Beckley. She moved to Ohio when she was 16 . She always wanted to have a place where she was raised, so in 2006 we found, this 1890's cottage for sale. We bought it and have spent the last 10 years working on it. It has been a fun project. It has a summer kitchen, root cellar and well house and 3 wood stoves. We spent some time down there when we can, her cooking and me designing kitchens.

This project was designed to accommodate the client’s wish to have a traditional and functional barn that could also serve as a backdrop for social and corporate functions. Several years after it’s completion, this has become just the case as the clients routinely host everything from fundraisers to cooking demonstrations to political functions in the barn and outdoor spaces. In addition to the barn, Axial Arts designed an indoor arena, cattle & hay barn, and a professional grade equipment workshop with living quarters above it. The indoor arena includes a 100′ x 200′ riding arena as well as a side space that includes bleacher space for clinics and several open rail stalls. The hay & cattle barn is split level with 3 bays on the top level that accommodates tractors and front loaders as well as a significant tonnage of hay. The lower level opens to grade below with cattle pens and equipment for breeding and calving. The cattle handling systems and stocks both outside and inside were designed by Temple Grandin- renowned bestselling author, autism activist, and consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. This project was recently featured in Cowboy & Indians Magazine. As the case with most of our projects, Axial Arts received this commission after being recommended by a past client.
