Poet Huts
2019
In Collaboration with Akash Mehta and Sam Parsons
Shortlisted Entry
This entry proposes a collection of objects in the landscape that seek to provide sanctuary for writers and poets in and amongst the natural and wild landscapes of Pavilosta, Latvia within a re-wilded meadow bringing back life to this former agricultural plot.
Each hut offers a secluded retreat with individual views out over the new landscape. Within the hut itself there are several different types of space that allow the writer or poet to wander, to sit and to write both in the comfort and security of the hut or the external terrace that wraps around the perimeter.
The communal area and the host accommodation act as gatekeepers to the site beyond, looking out over the reed-bed and silent meditation areas within the meadow.
