HONEYCLUB HIVE LONDON 2013

Vlad Tenu has collaborated with Extracts London to design a new conceptual prototype for an urban beehive for The Honey Club – founded by Wollf Ollins and Global Generation. In contrast to the traditional hive structure, the Honey Club Hive has been designed as a home for the bees rather than for honey farming.

Following architectural design principles, the beehive is conceived as a complex double skin structure, creating opportunities for heat exchange, natural ventilation, control of condensation and water harvesting and many other conditions needed for a healthy beehive.

The prototype has been inaugurated at the Honey Club Hive event at the Filling Station in Kings Cross on the 1st of August 2013. Special thanks to Juliette Somnolet and Lucia Dickman.
