Wolves shelter offers a personal space for children in the heart of the city

By Naresh KumarChauhan /Jun 17 2009

Commissioned by Midlands Architecture & Design Environment and the Government office for the West Midlands, designer Sjolander da Cruz teaming up with Buro Happold and Gwen Heeney has come up with a simple though unique shelter that offers refuge for kids where they can meet and discuss their day, or possibly studies, with their friends and classmates. Located at a skate park in Wolverhampton, the Wolves shelter features undulating wave-like steel cantilevers over a brick terraced seating plinth, giving it a modern but at the same time natural design. The £75,000 project not only offers a personal space for kids to chill out with friends in the heart of the Midlands town, but presenting a neoclassic design also adds to the beauty of the town.
