A graduate of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture, Trevor Pan spent 400 days over two years turning one of his projects into reality. “3 Desert Way” is a shelter designed to house a person in the Arizona desert, according to an article in the September 2006 issue of ARCHITECTURAL RECORD.

An exercise in minimalist, organic design, the shelter features a 100 square foot room, seating for 12, a pullout bed and a 150 square foot patio. Not only are the seat cushions covered in True Blue Sunbrella furniture fabric, but Trevor stretched Sunbrella Natural fabric over wood beams to create a durable roof that also provides natural light.

Trevor’s work will be featured at the upcoming Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum opening May 15, 2009.

Trevor’s unique design is also featured in Michelle Galindo’s new book DESERT ARCHITECTURE.
