PAGGANUCK

Design Build Workshop Studio

Governor's Island - New York

The Native Americans of the Manhattan region, the Lenape referred to what is now known as Governors Island as Pagganuck “Nut Island” after its plentiful hickory, oak, and chestnut trees.
Solar Studies and material were carefully curated for the final product. It was the result of intense work in a TEAM of 11 students.

I focused in the design and connection the fabric panels, connections of metal panels, and design of the furniture assembly OKTO.
