Home builder Martha Rose, of Martha Rose Construction, has designed and added a collection of functional furniture and site accessories made from recycled building materials from a 1920s farm house, as well as hand-forged ironwork by locally blacksmith-artesian Jason Reed Brown.
The community, Fish Singer Place (FSP), a four home 5-Star Built Green low-impact-development looks allot like something out of “Edens Lost and Found” mentions Adrian Willanger, founder of Eco-Redux a marketing consultant on the project. Each home features a porch facing a central community fire-pit; Rose added one to her last community, Queen City Eco-Village, “it has proved to be a great site amenity cherished by all.” The goal for the overall look and feel of FSP is to minimize the visual impact of utilitarian components such as; front-loading garages, utility meters, trash and recycling areas.
Recycled, true, dimensional lumber is being used around the site for benches, trellis, and privacy screens, thoughtfully installed to help lessen the visual impact of utility boxes and meters as well as defining outdoor living areas. Each of the home’s outdoor collection and recycling stations are enclosed with re-crafted wood doors and repurposed fencing. Metal wildlife sculptures, created by blacksmith-artesian Jason Reed Brown, will be prominently installed around each home.
Martha believes that people are “rediscovering their sense of community,” which has greatly influenced her decision to add whimsical and functional artistic elements that help connect the past to the future by integrating the best materials from both eras.
