Pergola (sky-net)
This timber-framed pergola plays with the traditional use
of climbing plants and lattice work in shade structures.
Instead of trellised plants, a sky-net made of marine-grade nylon rope allows adventurous users to enjoy socializing and solitude amidst the trees and rooftops of South Minneapolis.
The plain-weave pattern
of the sky-net provides
shade to those below.
