Karen Garner and Reggie Garner, Jr. are the owners of Magnolia Homes. Karen’s grandson/Reggie’s son, Greer, is very excited that Magnolia Homes is involved in this project. Greer, at four years old, has watched a fire station being built near the Magnolia office. So when asked what type of playhouse should be built, without hesitation, Greer said a firehouse with a pole, and his brother, Shafer, agreed.  Everyone at Magnolia Homes hopes that you enjoy this crazy Firehouse and we hope you will consider making it yours!

The Hobbit House by Salvaggio Group
Builder - Salvaggio Group
Architect/Designer – WalkerArch
Project Partners – Richard Allen Construction (framing), Jenkins Lumber, Sherwin Williams (Duration Paint), Memphis Door & Hardware (custom “Hobbit” door), Lowe's Collierville 
Volunteers – Thanks to the entire Salvaggio Group team, including all the Salvaggio kids for their part in the design and construction!

Michael Walker (WalkerArch) conducted a design meeting with the Salvaggio kids. Collectively, everyone decided to create a Hobbit Cottage, one you may happen upon on a stroll through a mythological forest. The cottage facade uses the wood and limbs of a Cedar tree taken down for a future Salvaggio Group construction project. Texture was applied to simulate mud walls and the roof uses hay to replicate a Thatch roof. The base has been woven with limbs to give a “birds nest” appearance. During the design exercise, the children stressed the importance of having two balconies. Multiple books were read on these balconies during construction. We hope your kids will love this cottage designed by our kids!
