so excited to share this talk and open-house walk through with all of you – Jon is such a deep thinker about not only carpentry but supporting and welcoming his community to enjoy this great space he has created, Let's join him for a zen-meditation session in the beautiful tatami room.
gosh, Jon is really top shelf and great attitude towards his projects.
the hand hewed floors! incredible
hooray for venturi effect
Wonderful house and admire the hard work and so inspiring way of living of the owner
Great to see Jon and his amazing work showcased once again!
Merci pour le partage. Très intéressant et inspirant. J’espère pourvoir venir quelques jours pour m’imprégner es lieux et méditer en silence avec John. Et également rencontrer la communauté.
