Pilotis Pod

The  pilotis pod is eco friendly and made completly of timber. It is made up of a ribbed framed structure, covered in chestnut shingles and  elevated off  the ground using douglas fir stilts.
In this instance we put a flat ceiling through the building and added some partitions to create a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area. On the outside we created a decked area using deckboards made up of recycled plastic bottles.

The Pods were originally intended for use as self contained apartments/lodges and have been incorporated into a design project for Windermere School (formerly Elleray Preparatory School) where they have been used as outdoor classrooms and incidently can be adapted to suit individual needs.
