The kiosk roof is inspired by the flight of birds along the international flyway. This formal elements connects destinations with a uniform, yet highly flexible set of landmarks, that adapts easily to restrooms, a bike shops and interpretive kiosks along the lake edge. The sign program  uses the same material palette with durable cedar beams and powder-coated aluminum framing. All site elements are custom the location—to withstand its intense weather and take advantage of wide open views with vertical forms and a bold pop of color.
