A Cruck for the Big BackYard
SafeNet is a 30 year-old non-profit in Erie, Pennsylvania which provides sanctuary and a range of services to victims of domestic violence.
Many children spend time in SafeNet’s shelters. And the Big BackYard is a natural playground created by SafeNet and their many supporters to provide a safe green space for those children, and their caretakers, to play and relax out-of-doors.
Landscape architect Dan Dahlkemper spearheaded the playground’s design and reached out to us for a pavilion concept. We then worked closely with Erie-based architect Adam Trott and SafeNet’s leadership on the details. It was an honor (and a lot of fun) to be involved in this community endeavor.
