Crisp Flatbread: delicious AND well-shaded
You know that feeling you get, when you wake up and the air is crisp? The sunlight looks like clear water, and you know that fall is just around the corner? Apparently we aren’t there yet. Bummer. You’ll notice, because of how it’s 93 degrees and as humid as it gets outside. But the good […]
Dear Santa…
Is this what you’ll be leaving out with your milk and cookies (and carrots for the reindeer, of course)? If so, Santa wants you to know that you have been good! But the workshop is backed up, thanks to intriguing and delightful orders from other good friends. Sperry Fabric Architecture is now working from a […]

Savannah Series in Paradise
Since there’s snow all over the place, this must be the perfect day to discuss this puppy. This is a relatively small, rectangular Savannah Series tent that lives in the Bahamas, gently buffeted by sea breezes. Tragically, I was not in charge of this installation. Installing a concrete anchored, wood-framed tent is just like […]
Thank goodness!
