While working for the Inyo National Forest, I completed a conceptual design for the outdoor spaces at the new visitor center. A fully accessible series of wooden decks took their formal cue from the architecture and extended outward into the unique alpine environment and provided various spaces for both intimate gatherings as well as large school groups. Visitors from across the globe are welcomed into this space from the moment they step out of their vehicle and into the crisp high-altitude air.
