HONEY HOUSE CAFE

The requirements for the Honey House were to design a structure that included space for people and bees within the same building. This take on the Honey House is a cafe experience where people can enjoy tea and honey while watching bees enter through tubes to the hives in the center of the space. The inspiration for the cafe is driven by the desire to bring bees into the heart of the building for viewing. To accomplish this, a thin membrane structure was used with water flowing over the surface. This will allow people to enter while keeping the bees outside.
