Beehive Design

The Habi-Sabi Beehive, designed to the UK National Standard, is replacing all the existing beehives of the Urban Bee Project run by InMidtown. The simple design can be sited almost anywhere (bee numbers allowing) with brick shelves to provide extra ballast where needed.

Habi-Sabi for inMid-Town

51% Studios‘ rooftop Habi-Sabi collection won a com­pe­ti­tion run by inmidtown and The Archi­tec­ture Foun­da­tion. Pro­to­types were launched at an exhi­bi­tion in Renzo Piano’s Central Saint Giles in Feb­ru­ary 2012. The InMidtown suite is being installed on the rooftops and ter­races of busi­nesses around Hol­born and St Giles.
