Botanical Gardens

Botanical garden canopy in Columbia. The idea behind this design was to resemble the extension an growing of trees, with the modular hexagonal ceiling representing trees. With the structure only acting as a canopy, the space created within is open to the elements that surround it, with the high ceiling giving a sense of grandeur.The garden can be used as a function space as well as a butterfly reserve - being conscious of the ecology of the area. Visually, we extracted the elegant twisting motion of the scattered columns into our design, as well as the hexagonal modular system. 

This project was proposed as a botanical garden for Moscow. The exuberant colours and organic, non-geometrical forms break away from the traditional. It shows how an interior and exterior can be created with hardly any resemblance to what we find familiar.
