Garden Dugout

@ University of Washington

2018

A design/build project completed in 10 weeks for the horticulture program at Nathan Hale High School. The structure acts as seating for students during the day, and plant storage and display during the annual community fundraisers held on site. Primarily prefabricated from dimensional lumber, the project sits on concrete footings attached to a pressure-treated lumber rack.
