The Canopy

The Canopy

North Carolina State Park

Competition: USGBC Natural Talent 2015

Project Type: Civic

Inspired by the canopy of the forest and the shadows it casts this visitor center incites people to go outside and enjoy the park. The center Breezeway acts as the central connection point between the two buildings and the rest of the park, as well as a hangout area. The Breezeway embodies the concept in the abstract tree like columns and the shape of the shadows cast by the overhang as well as the height of the structure to give you that grand forest feel.
