The M-Velope is one in a series of functional art structures designed to function as retreats in which to escape from the norm. Varying in size & shape, they’re made mostly of sustainable grown wood colored with environmentally friendly stains or paints.

The one shown here is approximately twelve feet tall, twelve feet wide, & twenty feet long. The basic structure can be made larger, and/or the space inside can be increased by joining units together. The slotted panels, support frame, floor, and ramps all break down for shipping and can be reassembled almost anywhere with little or no foundation, depending on the site specific requirements.
