Patkau Warming Huts - Exterior

The Patkau Warming Huts are a group of 6 skating shelters that are huddled closely together within the frozen river landscape. Constructed of thin plywood sheaths, these shelters allow for shelter for skaters, while giving opportunities for chance encounters within the intimate installation environment. The thin flexible plywood is easy to work with, and the various forms of bending of plywood gives rise to the interesting spatial character and form of the huts.
