Redesigning an air filter: blending in

At www.redesignme.com/ a challenge was placed to come up with a new shape for an air cleaner for barns. This concerns barns in which animals are reared, like chickens or pigs. The air cleaner is basically a rectangular box like a sea freight container and not very appealing to the eye. I made two redesigns of which this is one.

My redesign:

Blend in the unit by using the same form language as the buildings surrounding it.
  • Cover the outer wall of the unit with the same (sheeting) material
  • Paint the unit the same color
  • Fit the unit with a roof with the same angle
  • Finish the unit with the same trim
