Office by the Creek

With the assistance of faculty from Mohawks Building and Science department ,  I designed this currently under construction structure to exceed the building code and have a positive environmental impact.  The 12.6 ft x 14 ft bay window is a desk that looks downstream.  A fold down ladder allows trap door access to the mezzanine above.
