The structure was carefully sited to maintain any of the existing trees that survived Hurricane Katrina.
A screen-in porch wraps around two sides of the simple structure.
A standard module of 4'x8' is used throughout the design of the multi-purpose space for the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center.
Perforated corrugated metal allows for natural ventilation to pass through the double-cavity roof, preventing solar heat gain from transferring through the roof into the space.
