Butterfly Conservatory

Astoria, Oregon
Debra and Howard Hazelett, Butterflies Forever

This building's design is as unique as the structure's use; a butterfly conservatory for the Butterflies Forever Foundation. With the building's total square footage at 11,200, the glass-encased conservatory will take up 4,000 square feet alone. At a height of 28 feet; the glass walls will encompass the surrounding scenery, as well as the natural light superbly. In addition to the conservatory; the lower level will have a laboratory, a gift shop with cashier's station, a theatre, a classroom, office area, as well as public restrooms and private storage areas. The second floor includes private office areas and restrooms and a kitchen corner for administrators. This project is still in the early stages of construction.
