HOME DESIGN:STUDIO/KILNS
The studio was
framed using telephone poles and built in 1982. Over the next 3 years,
the house was added using old timber from 3 schools and 10 farm houses.
Roofing tiles came from old temples. The final room, a tea house, was completed
in 1992, the same year a brick bread oven and smoker were built. A stable
sits up on the hill where we have kept a chestnut thoroughbred horse for
riding on wooded trails since 1987.
