Sanctuary
“Street Beetle” is a small covered space suitable seating for conversation. The bentwood building technology references Eau Claire as a river town borrowing directly from construction used to build a wooden canoe. Conceived during the pandemic for the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire the pavilion is made primarily from recycled ash trees from the Eau Claire city and county. The project received a grant from UWEC Student office of Sustainability and Eau Claire Public Arts council.
