CASE STUDIES
• The Pods (or Huts): Next the huts or the pods were located
in the spaces between the trees without disturbing them.
• These huts were built from structural steel with terracotta
tile roofing and also housed pre-cast concrete seaters.
• The Bridges : The spaces in-between the huts were
connected with metal pergolas covered by a translucent
polycarbonate sheet. These bridge the gap between the
huts.
• The pergolas are designed to accommodate the existing
trees which pierce through them, connecting nature with
the spaces.
• The kitchen areas were located near existing buildings
where there were no trees.
Features
Sustainability :
• The Hut Cafe is completely sustainable.
• The building uses extremely low amounts of the energy and
is built to be naturally ventilated and lit.

spaces.
• Trees are brought inside the building and due to this the
natural climate of the building remains cool during the entire
day.
• The materials used in the Hut Cafe are all sustainable and
locally produced.
• Maximum materials used were re-cycled the construction
costs were very low.
• The use of low-energy fittings ensure a low life-cycle cost also.
