Invisible Architecture

Client: National Park Service

Project: Design and fabrication of three backcountry toilets at 12,000' on Longs Peak, the highest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park.

In Collaboration With: Colorado Building Workshop

User Feeling: Delight.

Intention: Invisible Design.

Outcome: A building that grew out of the mountain itself.

User Outcome: Delight in seeing that a building materialized out of the natural landscape. As something of the park not in the park - seamlessly integrated and impossible to see as separate from.

The built materializes out of the unbuilt.

Its not about what you see but what you don't.

Its about the delight when you finally see the thing you didn’t see.

Its right in front of you. How?

Natural magic.
