sydney, australia-based studio enter projects created the ‘entrance canopy’ at the request of a repeat client for their castlecrag home. the brief was specific, and called for the generation of a canopy that would sit harmoniously in relation to both the home and the semi-tropical bush locale. a design was created, which was then laser cut and assembled with techniques similar to traditional boat building. marine grade plywood composes the structure, and uses its organic nature to visualize changing light and seasonal patterns.
