West Side Lake Grange - 1990
  
Old Model School - September, 2006
  
  For years the Grange had been a community gathering spot, but in 1989 the Grange was a desolate and lonely looking building. Our main objective was to create an interesting and dynamic living space that would blend into the wooded hills surrounding the building.   We purchased the building along with a historic easement in August 2006 from Indiana Landmarks. Our objective is to create a vital community center while maintaining the historic character of the school.  
   

 

    
 

Our Design Statement

Our commitment is to preserve and protect the special places that exist all
around us, places that allow us to be free, to be alive, to be home. We
allow for spontaneous adaptation and stand for unpredictable results. We
experiment, we fail, we experiment, we fail, and then once in a great while
we succeed and a place of beauty and aliveness is allowed to unfold. We
encourage and celebrate the participation of all people in this unfolding
process. We are all on a journey of adventure, exploration and discovery.
