Our team was excited to hear our design submission SCATTERED SPHERES was a winner in the BENCHmark 2016 competition! The BENCHmark 2016 competition invited designers to submit proposals for the design of a permanent bench along the Bishop Grandin Trail - Winnipeg’s longest multi-use trail. A competition seeking designers to help make / celebrate places that embody physical literacy, add refinement to the art of traveling while providing a place to sit, read, discuss and exchange. In the end we decide to use reclaimed Elm as the species as choice as it pays homage to Winnipeg's Elm trees that have succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease. SCATTERED SPHERES The scattered spheres are turned from solid reclaimed White Oak, and are composed in a cluster along the Agassiz site. These pieces operate as both a composition in the landscape and a functional place for pause. These minimal and immediate forms encourage users to interact with them in fun and creative ways. These objects resist a prescribed function, but rather encourage the user to behave as a collaborator.

Checking height of back cushion - to be above wood posts of reclining back, but not too high. As it happens with most vintage/antique furnishings, they are quite "to scale" and cushions each measure exactly the same.

Sitting atop the Rubicon-treated solid oak coffee table, we scattered some decorative balls inside of a Chapati bowl. These traditional Indian bread-dough bowls are all authentic, hand-carved and totally unique. Photo by Shea Conner

Inspiration for a mid-sized contemporary backyard stone patio remodel in San Francisco

This house design was inspired by the 19th century style farm houses that are scattered about the flat open farmland of Eastern Shore, Virginia. The building site for this project was on a waterfront peninsula that made it picturesque as well as historical version of a bygone era. Versions of this house and others like it can be found on downhomeplans.com
