Sustainable canopy design for the village of Doel
This semester we investigated mobility in the village of Doel, designing a canopy as a meeting place where cyclists can safely park and residents can gather on integrated benches.
Our conscious choice for recycled materials, carefully selected through second-hand platforms, links sustainability to the unique character of our butterfly roof design.
The butterfly roof design considers rainwater drainage, while the central column efficiently directs structural forces for optimal load distribution.
Oak wood for the central column, water-resistant species treated with black stain
Thorough stability analysis of existing walls with targeted reinforcement supports
Safe bicycle parking integrated with comfortable seating areas for community use
A functional, safe, and environmentally conscious addition to the village of Doel
