Land
form sculpture and waterworks
Over the last three
decades a major part of our design research has taken place on a large
tract of land in Batesville Virginia. This has become a laboratory to
test out ideas of design and fabrication at the scale of furniture, building,
and landscape. These images represent work undertaken over the last five
years with the help of Ryan Hughes.
