Project Description
The pair of 150-square-foot kiosks serves up cold Heinekens and amazing views at the new Heineken Riverdeck at the Seaport District.
The kiosks were conceived from a solid block that was split by a sinuous curve in order to achieve two volumes. One half, “Over,” provides shade while “Under” slopes downward to create a bench. Both are topped with a green acrylic roof that filters the light and alludes to the Heineken brand.
Standing at 10 feet tall, each piece is comprised of 800 aluminum cylinders covered in a powder-coat finish. The individual parts were bolted together to create an exterior shell supported by an internal frame.
From inside, the effect is a bespoke lighting installation varying in multiple hues, shapes, and depths resulting from the angled curvature cut into the tubes’ ends.
