snow DRIFT
Fully
embedded within the landscape, Snow Drift
provides a comfortable shelter for individuals on the Assiniboine River Trail
to escape its winter weather without intruding on the white, clam terrain.

the snow drift and allowing people to occupy the volume inside. A prefabricated
birch-plywood scaffolding is placed on the frozen river for snow accumulation,
allowing the form to gradually change with wind direction. The interior is
lined with birch-bark, a historical technique used by Native’s in canoe
building, to keep melting snow out and provide wind insulation. Overall, Snow
Drifts adaptive form and sympathetic use of material offers a rich visual and
tactile experience, without imposing on the landscape.
