FLYHIVE

An environmentally harmonious modular shelter and collective space for those who would stay at Fly Ranch, Nevada. Nature’s wisdom guides us to the most intrinsically powerful and sustainable systems, thus inspiration for the design is founded in biomimicry. Beehives exquisitely illustrate how modular communities work together to become more than the sum of their parts.

Similar to a beehive with features necessary for the successful survival of a bee colony, FLYHIVE is designed to support a multitude of activities. A major entrance leads to a public walkway that ramps up along the periphery of the central arena where large spectator gatherings and events of art making, performances, and community exchanges take place. Living units are accessed via the ramp, promoting chance encounters and conversations. Shaded semi-private spaces in between units provide opportunities for small gatherings of people.
