almost finished with the first side of the new windhouse, one more to build out, and doors and side screens still to go on this one. But it turned out really nice. I'll try to get some better photos of it , the light is washing out the tables with sun angle now.

Interesting how you placed the alternating bump outs on the benches. Are the doors out front shower doors?
They are frames a metal working friend has built, he did the other ones for the other space as well, they are aluminum, covered with coroplast, as is the background. There will be two more sliding doors that will store behind those two that are static, so I can close them in strong winds, which we get here a lot. I’ll update to show those when we install them. There will also be shade cloth on the side that can be deployed for wind as well.
 
Very nice
Lol looking at your spacing of your trees, I REALLY should figure out how to thin my collection ....:eek:
This is only half of them but we still have to rebuild the old space (it’ll be a copy of this one) so they will all have great visual impact.
 
Wow, I really love that!
nice work
That’s setup looks great!
Really nice. Wish I had space for something nice like that…
Looks great!
Very sharp… love it!

Thanks you guys!
 
Beautiful. A calming and serene feeling design. An inspiration, no doubt!

Can you kindly share any details of the design process? I'd love to know more. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve had a structure like this for years now, but wanted a second one so the trees would all have a permanent spot they can stay placed in good or bad weather. Currently I have to crowd them all into the old structure in storms/wind. I have plenty of external benches but moving trees around gets old… so taking the space next to the old wind house and building a similar structure will house them all. There will be sliding door panels to close the front and white shade cloth curtains on sliding tracks for the sides to close as well. I wanted something super clean and display worthy. So instead of all wood, we built recessed tops into the wood frame for the porcelain tile. I’ll be able to show these closer when I get more photos. The old space will be redone with this same bench type and new white surfaces for the back and doors as they’ve gotten dirty over time. The space on the left of the new structure is a small zen garden, which isn’t complete yet. As far as the process, I dream
It up and Bill “the enabler” builds it out. I help as much as he lets me lol, I get to haul all the gravel up and spread it…😆 I will take photos of the entire thing as we finish in a few weeks. Pics of the old setup, the old side is def in need of this overhaul… the new side is where the first photo benches used to be. P1010716.jpegP1010706.jpegP1010714.jpegP1010713.jpegIMG_2747.jpeg
 
Wow! I hadn't noticed the tile until pointed out. Really nice touch.

Sounds like an exciting project! I can tell there's a mountain of effort that led to this point. You and Bill should be proud.

Thank you for sharing the journey!
