The Boiceville Cottages are nearly complete. All of the cottages have been framed and sheathed. A set of teal-trimmed cottages are being stucco’d and are having their roofs shingled, but most of the other cottages, including a set of canary yellow-trimmed homes that had only just been sheathed in March, are nearly done (with interior finishing being the only major work left) or are already occupied.
Check out the “easter eggs” – drawings in between some of the decorative half-timbers, and builder Bruno Schickel’s personalized sidewalk slab.
The 140-unit project will finish up this summer, and after that Schickel will be turning his attentions to building out the late Jack Jensen’s Farm Pond Circle project in Lansing. For those who want to visit, the cottages are on Boiceville Road just west of Slaterville Springs.
Searching “Boiceville” in the search box on the right will give you about three years of construction updates (April 2013 looks like the first). It has been a long build-out, but there’s no other project quite like it.
