GOAT SHELTER

SPECULATIVE
This goat shelter is designed according to the pragmatic concerns of goat safety, psychology, and environmental conditions. The Goat shelter is designed slightly sunken below ground to help mitigate temperature extremes. Cold winter winds coming from the Northeast meet the lower portion of the roof, which directs the wind over the roof top and thereby keeping the goats safe from cold gusts. In the Summer, southwestern wind is scooped underneath the raised portion of the roof to provide cool air to the goats. The roof directs rain water to be collected in a sunken cystern for drinking. Additionally, horizontal battens on the roof act as a goat ladder to allow an elevated view above the prairie for goats to scout out predators far in the distance, helping them achieve peace of mind.
