AIA Merit Award: The Polypod

1 min read

PROJECT: The Polypod
FIRM: Bradley Edwards, AIA
CONTRACTOR: David McElyea
LOCATION: Fayetteville

The Polypod is a simple outbuilding with a multitude of possible uses.

The project consists of a polycarbonate shell and an exposed wooden frame.

The roof, floor and wall “fold” to become the vertical limits of all other materials and methods. The polycarbonate panels are opaque white and emit enough light to the interior while giving a hint of the structural logic from the outside.

Owner/Client: Mark Thomas
Project Team: Bradley Edwards, AIA; David McElyea
Consultant: David McElyea
Photographer: Bradley Edwards, AIA
