art of living series - The Garden Pavillion by Paul Raff Studio
The latest Art of living Series event organized by Business for the Arts took place in the private garden of Artist/Teacher Susan Brown and featured the Pavillion of the Sky designed by architect Paul Raff. Inspired with his travels to Japan, Paul created this structure to act as a stage/outdoor studio/workshop and dining/sitting area.
The team at Sasquash did not have to work off blueprints but crafted the structure using the measurements directly from the on-site CAD program. This enabled them to make precise cuts without having to waste any off-the-shelf cedar. The top of the pavillion is covered in Arcrylic so you can use it in the rain. for more in-depth info and pictures visit http://www.paulraffstudio.com/projects/special/garden/index.php
You can visit the gardens by taking art classes or attending the Wednesday night Garden Concerts during the summer. For more information visit http://www.artistgardencoop.com/
