Description
Designed to stand with their backs to the wind like buffalo, each Skating Shelter encloses an intimate moment of respite and warmth. The flexible plywood structures are delicate and alive, moving gently with wind and touch to remind those they shelter of the constant natural forces surrounding them. Skating Shelters create precious opportunities for rest and reflection in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Custom configurations of Skating Shelters are fabricated at our studio in Vancouver. For information on ordering, please write to products@patkau.ca.
