Cafe and information center (revisited)

Exterior and decking area

This project I set myself was firstly a project to examine different uses of natural light. Which has now grown into a full project. The structure is influenced from rolls of turf, or sod as it is also know. This project set in the lake district creates a small center for ramblers or visitors to the area to relax, meet and set off on expeditions from. The structure itself is green roofed to insulate the cafe, and constructed from concrete for greater stability which is also very effective against weathering, specially within wind driven rain the structure has to withstand and a moist environment like the Lake District. More to come through the week!
