@the opening!!! :)Cheers!!!!


"Dallas Arboretum Fairy Tale Castle - The Princess and the Pea! All done!!! We were awarded the "The Most Interactive Design" cheers! This was a great challenge for us. We had to build it ourselves (by our last minute surprise)... It did not come as expect...ed... of course but I guess in the end it wasn't too bad! :-) Check our process pictures. We can't wait on the landscape design which will bring a layer of beauty and lush!!! More pictures coming!!!! and in July children will vote for the castle they like the most... one I heard wants "Shrek’s" to win (Jack and the Beanstalk little house)." -- Hilda M Rodriguez

This time I wanted to share a project I helped build back in February 2011. The Princess and The Pea Castle by NRBM is part of this one-of-a-kind exhibit that will capture the imagination of any little prince or princess and encourage literacy through classic tales like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. Designed and built by local architecture and construction firms, this castle plus other six castles bring to life beloved stories for you and your family to enjoy. Each castle will be placed in specific locations in the gardens of the Dallas Arboretum to optimize the overall look. ‘It’s a Fairy Tale World’ from March 5 - December 31, 2011. Other featured castles include:

Beauty and the Beast by PGAL and Turner Construction
Aladdin by HKS Inc.
Rapunzel by Baez Consulting
The Little Mermaid by GHA Architects
Jack and the Beanstalk by The Beck Group
Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughter’s by Corgan Associates, Inc. and Turner Construction
