Warming Huts, Design Competition, October 2023

Firefly embodies the transience of seasonal change, bringing summer’s light to contrast the winter landscape: interior vs. exterior, colorful structure vs. bleached landscape, warmth vs. frigidity. Firefly triggers visual and tactile experience materialized in a whimsical skin of summery pool noodles, easily manipulated by the visitor. LEDs placed within noodles create the illusion of containing fireflies.

The construction consists of a wooden 2”x 4” frame and perforated plywood inserts in-filled with reusable polyethylene foam noodles, a non-absorbent, bendable lightweight material, functioning as "insulated" walls that keep some warmth inside the hut.
