CV
POD Garden Shelters
The POD Garden Shelters arose from a collaboration with AI Architects for the headquarters of AWS in Cape Town, SA. The project required design and construction quality documentation for garden shelters intended as public gathering points, located on the rooftop garden of the main building at the facility.
Client: AI Architects for Amazon Web Services (AWS)
The requirements called for a focus on ecological material usage, weight restrictions, and extreme environmental conditions from rain, wind, and sun. The resulting POD, based on the Protea flower, is modular in construction, allowing for easy on-site assembly and a multi-configurable system that can easily accommodate variations in the seven PODs required for the project.
