Stacked Raw Oak Boards: Layered Spaces That Open and Close

Design a bus shelter in the manner of Ensamble Studio, built from raw untreated oak boards stacked exactly as timber is stacked to dry in the region's drying barns. Show a mass of rough-sawn oak planks laid horizontally one above another with consistent gaps between courses, the stack forming walls, bench and roof as a single operation — no frame, no cladding, just the accumulation of boards. Detail the gaps as the design's whole effect: from outside the stack reads as solid, from inside it is striped with daylight, and the space feels simultaneously open and closed depending on the viewing angle. Show the board ends left rough and uneven where they project slightly past the corner, so the stack reads as honest and unfinished. Detail the oak as pale and raw when new, already darkening on the upper exposed edges. Set it on a grass verge beside a country road with meadow and a farm building behind. Show low sun striping through the gaps onto the ground. Photorealistic, raw pale oak, strongly striped light, three-quarter view.
