backcountry privies

Tasked with updating the privies along the popular Long’s Peak Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park, our design build team worked with the National Park Service to redesign and construct four high-altitude structures. The project constraints encouraged a delicate balance of lightweight prefabricated construction and environmental consciousness. Thin steel plate moment frames and site-filled gabion walls provided the necessary stability and allowed for the structures to blend into their surroundings.
