Ice Fishing Hut: Design









Sledge Design: A consideration of lightness, distribution of weight, surface area on which the hut touches down, and aerodynamics of the roof form.




The linear design is based on two parallel runners, with a structure building up from and across them. The roofline is developed from a mono-pitch that is low at the front end of the sled, and high at the bag (to reduce drag).




The section is developed from a central focus around two elements: the fishing hole, and the heat source. A topography of benches, counters, and bunks are built up, giving space between them and the cold of the ice below.




The final plan, with the entry off the end, one central fishing and dining space, and bunks above.
