Park Your Bench Here
Have you seen the new pavilion at SEED LAB? This project was conceived during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to consider what outdoor co-work and collaboration spaces could look like in Anchorage. The end result is a transportable space made from 18 benches removed from the now-shuttered Northway Mall. Intrinsic Landscapes designed and fabricated the structure to fit within a typical 9-foot by 20-foot parking space - allowing it to be easily be deployed in any urban environment with parking.
