Kinetic Ovoid Canopy Wind-Spinner Suite — step 1
Step 1

Construct the primary structural chassis using steam-bent white oak ribs secured to a central stainless steel pivot hub. This frame ensures a lightweight yet rigid skeleton capable of supporting the weight of the interior finishes while remaining balanced.

Step 2

Apply thin, flexible marine-grade plywood skinning to the ribs, creating an aerodynamic ovoid silhouette that minimizes wind resistance. Each seam is sealed with high-tensile epoxy to ensure the structure remains airtight and weather-resistant against high-altitude gusts.

Step 3

Integrate a precision-engineered bearing system into the support platform, allowing the pod to rotate gracefully on the main tree trunk without friction. The mechanism is hidden beneath a cedar shroud to maintain a natural aesthetic while providing smooth, silent movement.
