It is located at the junction of the Half Dome Trail and the John Muir Trail in Yosemite, fostering a connection with nature through sacred geometry and a central hexahedral volume framed by radial mass timber. Recycled aluminum panels subtly reflect light, while a skylight animates the core with shifting shadows. Built with sustainable, off-grid systems and CNC-fabricated timber joinery, it serves as a contemplative, multi-use public space. Blending geometry, ecology, and tactile warmth, it offers a poetic, enduring model of human-centered architecture in harmony with the landscape.
