The Exotic Polynesian theme has special significance for Wendell, who reveled in traveling to the Co Phi Phi Islands of Phuket/Thailand along with the islands surrounding the Phillippines.

“The flavor of my yard/village is dedicated to the idea of being on a small island with just enough of the good stuff, but yet a very rural feel. It has been quoted that my village is like an island surrounded by land.”

Baker loves hosting, meeting new folks, and seeing the expression on people’s faces as they enter the exciting environment he’s so meticulously constructed.

It’s especially rewarding when guests express their appreciation, while traversing the grounds he’s put his heart and craftmanship into.

Wendell professes, “I want people to feel like they’re at Disneyland or their favorite hideaway haven.”

Wendell comes from a family of imaginative and innovative artists. His Austrian born father was set designer at Fox and MGM, conceiving the Robot “Gort” and the spaceship from the original “Day the Earth Stood Still,” and what you see inside the dome of “Robby” the Robot from “Forbidden Planet.”

He devised the first all electric home in the country, “Gold Medallion,” and “The War Room in the Pentagon,” in the 1950’s; developed the earliest patents of “rear view projection;” consulted for Disney, Warner Bros. Stores, Epcot Center, Euro Disney, to name a few; and published 6 books on architectural design entitled, “House of Ideas.”

Wendell’s mother met his father on Broadway and was in the first production of “Carousel” with John Raitt (Bonnie Raitt’s father), eventually becoming a talent agent for 35 years and counting.

She was a huge influence on Wendell, who started modeling at a young age which led to print work; voice overs; Sears magazines; and over 35 commercials: Coca Cola, McDonald’s, Chevrolet, Vons, Polaroid; and TV shows/movies of the week: Mash, Young and Restless, Police Women, Facts of Life, One Day at a Time, Don Portrait of a Teenage Runaway and many more.

Baker wants to leave his mark on the world by creating enchanting visual and auditory experiences. He believes “it’s the visual things that count in life...especially the environment…and as we learn to embrace mother earth and ourselves…we are held accountable for the future spirits that will arrive after us.”

Wendell’s hope is that you “leave your inhibitions at the door; trusting yourself to something original and stimulating.”
