The Copper Crown's courtyard garden is starting to take shape. This will be a formal garden in the French style. It features a large outdoor fireplace and (because it would't be a castle without one) a small moat. :)
We have started blocking out the bailey gates and curtain walls. This is clearly an ancient château as the walls look to be in need of some repair. :)
Our model has some paint on it!
After a few last minute alterations to the garden and the stone caryatid in front of the upper window we are *finally* ready to paint. The colour has only just started but it is already making a significant difference.
I can't wait to see it finished!
The remainder of the model is nearing completion and is looking good from every angle! It is now easy to see how the three suites will fit together seamlessly. The goal is to provide every guest with a private and immersive experience. We are looking forward to finishing the rest of the model!
The North Star suite's concept model is finally ready for paint! The suite will feature a lovely little garden filled with objects 'collected' from around the world. It is going to be a very special retreat for our guests. I can't wait to see it in colour!
What is this.... a hotel for ants!?!
No! Its a virtual tour of the North Star's garden walkway. You can begin to feel the sense of arrival and of discovery our guests are bound to feel. In my mind, I can already see it in colour, hear the water running and smell the flowers!.We want to transport them to another time and place!
Enjoy!
The North Star's entrance walkway transects a small pond as it winds its way into the suite's private garden. The bridge will feature two four foot tall lantern posts - one on either end. These illuminated pillars will cast a gentle light on the crossing each evening. Sorting out these little details is a real pleasure and we can hardly wait to get started on the real thing!
