Upon first glance, Macao Bravo s backyard man cave isn t a structure that immediately beckons for further investigation. From the street outside his Winooski home, the decades-old outbuilding, which once served as a garage and toolshed, looks like nothing more than a dry place for stacking firewood that is, until one notices that its creatively arranged grid pattern of firewood in front is actually an ingenious privacy screen. Outside, you look at this place, it s ugly, said the Chilean-born Bravo in a thick Spanish accent. But inside, people are surprised by what it can be. Indeed, entering the 52-year-old s man cave is like taking a tour of Bravo s life: the places he s lived, the things he s done, and the rare and unusual artifacts he s gathered along the way. Its many small and eclectic touches reveal the personality of an interior designer, formally trained in Spain, who is always seeing new potential in old and discarded objects.
