RED BOW WINDOW HOUSE

Greetings BRICK TRICK BLOG Friends!

We've all been busy building here in the BRICK TRICK studio, though Philip continues to create the most prolific amount of new work. So much new work, we actually had to take some things apart to make room for more BRICKS!

This posting features the RED BOW WINDOW HOUSE which was inspired by buildings of this type built here in SAN FRANCISCO, mostly in the 1950's. Many of these buildings are painted with very bold colors and the bow window architectural feature is a highly sought after element in resale homes. Philip took pictures of numerous bow window houses and studied the architecture before building this sculpture.
