THE HIVE

TYPE Bee Way Honey Pollination
LOCATION Portland, Oregon
STATUS Completed 2019
RECOGNITION e-architect.com, archello.com

Designed as an inhabitable beehive, this small building provides a location for Bee Way Honey Pollination to sell honey, wax, propolis, and other products in a small footprint with a big visual impact.

A hexagonal wall framed with 2x4s captures one’s attention, while polycarbonate panels behind it allow for a warm glow from the interior while obscuring direct views in for the majority of the small structure.
