The B Home
The B Home is a sculpture designed by artists Peter Abrams and Graham Apgar. An example of biomimicry, the B Home derives inspiration from the key building block of a beehive, efficiently enclosing space with a hexagonal lattice. A single unit of the home is located at the D&R Greenway just south of the Johnson Education Center. Separate units at the greenway, which will function as outdoor gazebos are being built using sustainable, upcycled materials such as shipping pallets, bamboo, and adobe.
