This unique rustic roost with its converted farm motif was designed and built by artist Hans Van de Bovenkamp.
Formerly entitled "the coop," it has a European cut-out loft-style open interior with high ceilings, skylights, and many glass doors allowing lots of natural light.

The center allows for bright natural light with many sliding glass doors and skylights. Birds are fed and can be very friendly if you are still enough for them to come close to you, one may land on you.

This is a modest space purposefully hoping to coexist smoothly with nature.
We aspire to be as Green as possible and encourage others as well in this space (ie. composting, limiting waste, conserving energy, leaving patches of wild plants - strawberries, black caps, grapes, thyme), not mowing all areas etc.
In the Feng shui tradition, please no outside shoes indoors, and in keeping with our mindfulness practice, I ask that you leave the center clean and in good condition.
