VIEW FROM CRANE LODGE

Called Crane Lodge for a reason - this is what you see from the top of the 90 ft crane that has been on site for 6 months or more. Last week they took the crane down and we spent nearly a half day on tour inspecting (via zoom) the nearly complete project. Another brilliant collaboration with our client Wild Luxury, and construction whiz team Sherocon Constructions. Additional credits to Blakes of Sydney for magnificent joinery detailing & Secret Gardens for magical exterior spaces.
