FUNNY FARM
Designed by artist Randy Polumbo
Bellport, Long Island
This 200 year old timber frame barn was rescued from near collapsing by artist Randy Polumbo. Using a collapsed barn for parts, every inch is old wood, all natural and non toxic materials. Most of the barn is built of salvaged materials from NYC construction projects with Calatrava’s discarded Bathtub, an outdoor shower from the Sherry Netherland Hotel, and parts from glorious uptown mansions and brooklyn factories alike. Enjoy chilling out in the hammock, the yard, or bike to the beach or cook a major meal in the spacious well appointed kitchen. What makes it “funny” are numerous amusing features like the giant iron bell and string to fire it, that Randy’s mom could not recall “bellport” and calls the town “bellevue” to this day. This is a very relaxing space where anything or nothing is enjoyable from crafts, music, cooking to a work project.
