John Pinkston, The Harminous Reunion of Art and Architecture

"Arts and Crafts style Mountain Home revival".
Who says you can't live in the past?...

 

Mr. Pinkston does, ... and he loves every minute of it.
This Western North Carolina designer is captivated by the Architecture and furniture designs created at the turn-of-the-century arts and crafts
movement.
In todays high tech, high pressure and complicated world, the simple designs made famous by Charles and Henry Greene brothers, Louis C. Tiffa
NY, Earnest A. Batchelder, Frank Lloyd Wright, Gustav Stickley Morris all seem to be a breath of fresh air in the mountain style vernacular ...
Inspired by these notable works that embraced simple and harmonious, straightforward designs made of quality material with enduring construction techniques such as use of indigenous and reclaimed quality materials
are evident in John's creative and artistic driven Architectural designs.
If it is true, that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, then the late great champions of the American Craftsman ideal would indeed be gratified and thankful to know that John Pinkston is keeping their contribution to this style of American Architecture Alive.
