HuupHaus: Shelter for Planter Bed
This projects requires the design and construction of a modular operable shelter for 3’ by 12’ planter beds using only metal conduit. The project is located in the Montessori Public School, Pitts- burgh PA. The planter beds in the edible school yard are meant for planting and cooking classes and allows student access.
The design features two different ways of opening the shelter for ventilation while protecting from harsh weather. The open shelter encourages gathering of children for teaching purposes. All bend corners in this project are round in prevention of injury and serve as the main concept for this project.
The project includes schematic design, designing fabrication templates, creating construction drawings, budgeting, creating a schedule, fabricating and on-site installment.
