Each step is a tease and a promise until you are finally let inside.<\/p>\n<p>Heron Hall was designed to elicit wonder and imagination in the minds of my children and any guests visiting.\u00a0 Even though the site is small, it\u2019s designed to feel large, with many spaces that show themselves only at certain points on the property.\u00a0 So too with the inside and the flow of space-to-spaces within.\u00a0 Each space was thought of as an experience designed for a positive, yet different emotional reaction.<\/p>\n<p>My hope is that the house will feel magical and a bit whimsical \u2013 almost like its alive and playing with us, encouraging us to all to be more than ourselves and to never forget the child within. Sometimes we need small, intimate spaces to retreat, sometimes we need larger places to gather and be seen \u2013 sometimes even secret places to discover. The design supports these and many other moods and whims.<\/p>\n<p>When you visit, and come around a corner \u2013 I want you to smile, laugh, exclaim! I want you to feel your emotions tugged and hope that you fall in love with the beauty that is this place \u2013 Heron Hall.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/ddf.c4a.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/mystery-end-quote1.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=&#8221;Image&#8221; src=&#8221;http:\/\/ddf.c4a.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/MYSTERY-TITLE.jpg&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;off&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;off&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; \/][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;light&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;left&#8221;] A house should have a soul.
