SPECTRL was commissioned to design a more enduring pergola structure for a shared patio space in Highland Park, replacing the weathered fabric shade-sails currently in use. The design leverages the area's natural height to symbolize elevated thought and character. Adhering to budget constraints, SPECTRL proposed using combinations of materials like wood with fabric, wood with steel, and wood with plastic, creatively positioned to cast geometric shadows. The project was driven by a vision to nurture communal interactions among Highland Park’s vibrant creative community and included site assessment, 3D renderings, and concept design.
