Mark Horton Architecture
 
A core-ten clad tower sits in a wild landscape, as a seldom-used seemingly agrarian structure. While simple in shape, the building system is derived from addressing a number of primarily environmentally-based conditions which act upon it. It is able to withstand wildfire, scorching summer heat, and random intrusions of nature, while closing down when not used, in order to protect itself.
