This mobile structure is inspired by Latvian wooden architecture and the fishing culture of Pape Nature Park. Designed as a trailer, it can be easily transported to various locations both within and beyond the park. Its adaptable layout shifts between open and closed configurations, accommodating workshops, gatherings, and interactions with wildlife. Features include foldable information panels, a feeding area for animals, and birdwatching elements, supporting a diverse range of activities. Constructed from repurposed materials - such as wooden beams, rubber shingles, and a trailer suspension system salvaged from an old chassis - the structure also incorporates fishing tools like ropes and pulleys. These elements not only reflect the region’s cultural heritage but also promote sustainability and ease of transport.
