Cottages for Kids is one of my favorite events and charities that Team Baranowski participates in that benefits the Children's Volunteer Health Network. For the past 3 years Team Baranowski has built a cottage for the event. First it was a giant pineapple house themed after Sponge Bob Square pants, then it was a giant submarine getting eaten by a massive octopus.
This year Team Baranowski partnered with Braulio Casa Architects, Arkon Group, Poor Truman and Little Red to build Il Teatrino.
Cottages for Kids cottages are showcased on Rosemary Beach's Eastern Long Green from May 7th to May 30th.
About Il Teatrino
In great towns around the world, the theatre plays a crucial role in the making of place. Il Teatrino, seeks to become part of a small town, the town in a child's imagination. The stage will be multi-functional, and able to evolve as the child's imagination expands evermore into the world of the thespian. Along with the other cottages, this Teatrino is meant to become part of the context that will be created by the ensemble of cottages on the Rosemary Green. As a more public building, the Teatrino can serve as the focal point or the terminus of an important vista. With the unwavering support of each of our team members, the Teatrino will be outfitted with all the things a child would want of their very own theatre, costumes, dressing areas, stage and its own box office. The possibilities are limitless for cultural creativity.
