HIGH PARK HABITAT
A nature inspired habitat located in High Park counts on the design to not take away from the natural beauty of the location. The final piece thus features a one-way mirrored glass shell in a triangular shape to match that of the grass it sits on, and a skin that showcases a criss-crossing pattern inspired by the intertwining branches of the arching trees along the path. The mirrored shell reflects the surrounding nature and the piece thus acts more as an installation rather than a building, cohesively blending in with it's surroundings.
