Design Build of Modular Furniture at the Bentway — Toronto
ARC395 | Design Build Clinton Langevin Academic | Group Project August 2023
For this project, we were tasked with designing a modular, large-scale structure that could be reconfigured into 3-5 smaller, independent elements. Our modular furniture concept intended to serve as a bar for the Bentway’s block party, and to have the capability of resting as deconstructed furniture pieces beneath the Gardiner Expressway during non-event periods. The design included four modular units, each catering to specific needs: a lounge, a kids’ unit, and both large and small chairs. The bar has two distinct designs: one featuring additional shelving at a standard height, and the other offering accessibility services at a lower height. We ensured that every unit includes ample shelving, and is covered with Crezon sheets to facilitate bar services and add a vibrant aesthetic to the structure.
