INITIAL IDEAS OF THE GREEN ROOF DESIGN
The main design is to convert the cabins into a more cohesive useable community space / facility, that should include a bee and butterfly friendly green roof and artistic interventions, with imaging and graphic representation. The local community's art work will be exhibited inside and outside the cabins. Graffiti will also be incorporated on the metal cabins as a way of creating a more inviting space for the community.
