Blue Sky BlogTaste Place: January 2012Posted on January 5, 2012 at 3:19 pm For my first post of 2012 I’d like to share an art installation by London based Israeli artist Zadok Ben David. In his work ‘Blackfield’ he has taken plant illustrations from Victorian botanical drawings and replicated them in steel. With exacting detail 12,000 miniatures bedded in sand make up one immense sculpture that as the… Read more › Pimp My Shed !Posted on December 8, 2011 at 2:46 pm I’d like to show you an office that we built in collaboration with David Gumbleton. It is designed and built from scratch specifically for the client. It is fully insulated and fitted with electrics and heating, is clad with red cedar and sits on an iroko deck; it even has a green sedum roof to… Read more › Think Outside of the Tree !!Posted on December 5, 2011 at 1:37 pm If you didn’t already go out this weekend and buy your Christmas tree and are excited to kick off the Christmas celebrations, then I’m going to refer you back to my blog post – To Tree or Not To Tree…? Here I give a little history of the Christmas tree and look at a couple… Read more › A Way of Looking at What We Do…Posted on November 30, 2011 at 4:55 pm This blog moves a little away from the garden/nature theme to share a piece of work written while I was working in the hospitality industry. It deals with the principals involved in a transaction and I’m posting it because I feel that it has uses in pretty much any industry or circumstance where an exchange… Read more › Taste Place – NovemberPosted on November 16, 2011 at 1:26 pm I’m not sure how comfortable this ‘Membrane’ chaise Longue by Korban/Flaubert would be but I think it’s stunning to look at. Korban/Flaubert is a Sydney based studio & workshop founded in 1993 by metal specialist Janos Korban and architect Stefanie Flaubert. K/B develop innovative forms by approaching their work as a process of discovery. They… Read more › National ‘Cook From The Cupboards’ Week!Posted on November 8, 2011 at 4:06 pm Ok, at the risk of painting myself in an inappropriate light for someone pushing their business into stratospheric proportions, suffice it to say that although I have exciting projects gestating they are not yet fledged and I have found myself ‘resting’ for a period – of course I’m not resting, I’m doing the things in… Read more › To you who shot the stag…Posted on October 30, 2011 at 9:26 pm You have probably seen or heard in the news last week that a 250lb, 19 point-antler stag was shot dead by a poacher or trophy hunter on Exmoor. The Red Deer (Cervus elaphus,) nicknamed the Goodleigh Giant, stood nearly 9ft tall and was thought to be destined to grow into one of the largest wild… Read more › A Family Garden in BathPosted on October 21, 2011 at 2:57 pm This Family garden in Bath is at the front of the house but actually serves more as a back garden. The garden was divided into two by a wall across and had a path running up the left hand side. The brief was to consolidate the two parts of the garden in to more of… Read more › Taste Place – OctoberPosted on at 12:03 pm I’m not sure that I can introduce this stunning sculpture as a garden bench. Peter Donders made ‘bench’ from a string of carbon fiber wrapped around a form later removed. It is has the ability in appearance to defy it’s own strength and has the fluidity of design found pieces with no or apparently no… Read more › Contemporary Garden – BathPosted on September 7, 2011 at 4:29 pm We built this garden earlier in the summer for a young couple that bought this newly built house in Bath, Somerset. As you will see it was quite a blank canvas consisting of a lawn on two steeply sloping terraces. The brief was firstly to make it a usable space which would retain some lawn… Read more › | |
