Make yours like mine

Part of the reward of our job is seeing our drawings come to life. A recent example is a remodel project here in Franklin County.

Bridge of Flowers Kiosk

The first signs of Spring are beginning to show in Colrain; ladybugs at the windows and smoke from the sugar houses. And with dreams of Spring it seems like a good time to post some pictures of the new kiosk at the Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls which ADI alum Grey Marchese and Bill completed last Spring. The project was a collaboration of many local artists, craftspeople and the freshmen/sopomore carpentry class at Franklin County Technical School, all pitching in to make the kiosk a reality. Bob Compton of Rising Sun Forge created the "rails" of the canopy meant to echo the trolley tracks which once ran down the bridge. Jay Heilman and Josh Hoffman of Heilman Building put in some work along with Rob Mitchell Excavating, Dawn Kazokas, Graves Concrete and Erna C. Herzig all pitched in as well.

Check out the article in Design New England which featured the project here.

Soon enough we'll be sitting by the Bridge enjoying some warm weather and all the flowers.
