The Observatory You Have Always Wanted, and Much More

Whether you are observing a distant galaxy through the eyepiece or capturing the ionized dust of a beautiful planetary nebula,  at SCOTT SCHNEIDER ARCHITECTURE, we know you want an observatory that is not only located far away from the glow of light pollution, is durable, long-lasting, resistant to fire or other natural disasters, but also reflects your personal style, tastes, and vision. It’s a space that you can find comfort in and be cozy during a cold night of observing. It’s a space to keep your equipment secure and possibly even exhibit your portfolio of work.  It may even be a space that you occasionally  invite guests over to share in the experience.  Ultimately it is a place to house the human spirit and to explore the universe.
