Summer 22, ongoing project

Chester, UK | May ‘22

The bird watching hide comprises a simple geometric form constructed, for simplicity, cost and sustainability, from only 2x6” lumbar. One single form creates opportunities for deployment in a variety of ground conditions across the meadows, reflecting different bird habitats: from the water’s edge to hedgerow to open fields.
