Solar Canopy
A public realm concept combining renewable energy, rainwater harvesting and everyday wellbeing.
Small interventions can have a significant impact.
This concept explores how seating, shelter and renewable technologies can come together to create healthier public spaces. Although designed at public scale, it demonstrates the same values that underpin every Dan Ash Design project.
