"Sticks II" is an art work shop and teaching space at Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens, NY. The project functions as an extension of a pavilion that our office built in 2016 titled "Sticks" (the winning entry of the Arch League of New York’s Folly Competition). Several new features have been added to this new iteration that allow the space to be used year round, including an insulated polycarbonate façade and four large barn doors, two of which are dedicated to passively cooling the space during warmer months. The building materials are almost entirely off-the-shelf, with the exception of the post shoes, which were custom fabricated. The premise beyond "Sticks" and "Sticks II" has been to provide a simple structural system that multi-tasks as storage space while also diffusing sun light.
