A sampling of shop work fabrications and installations I have been part of while working on my own, as Sain Works as well as a few examples from my years of working in the shop with Rockhill and Associates.
Sain Works was hired to design, fabricate and assemble the Murphy Carport in Old West Lawrence. It presented many unique challenges being in a historic district and being inserted into a beautifully landscaped yard. The carport is a minimal insertion into the existing conditions altering the retaining wall, plantings and the existing slab as little as possible while still making an architectural statement and solving the needs of the client.
Friends of the Kaw hired Sain Works to design and fabricate the first kayak and canoe locker on the Kansas River – a 173 mile long designated National Water Trail. It is a prototype for what FOK hopes will be several lockers along the trail that will allow people to enjoy the towns as well as the river while paddling. A paddler can lock up their boat and gear while taking the short walk to town and enjoying the amenities offers.
