Poet's Retreat SPB
The Poet's Retreat project was a BeeBreeders' competition entry in collaboration with Square Peg Bureau Architecture.
​
The design of the cabins are deliberately formed to provide protection from outside influence, giving the residents the chance to unwind and relax. The space changes from a concealed sleeping bunk with private views of the fields and beyond to a small private meadow, to a more social kitchen and living that provides views into the central Poetry Pit.
​
Behind the cabins are semi-private gardens, protected by recycled concrete gabion walls, culminating in an isolated meditation area behind a high gabion wall and sheltered by a native birch tree.
​
The building was modelled in SketchUp and rendered using V-ray and Photoshop. The presentation was compiled using InDesign and the illustrations produced in Illustration and Photoshop. The 2D drawings produced in Vectorworks.
