The Vepodial is an environmentally conscious beacon for Cyprus, participating as an active producer of water, awareness, and culture!
The Vepodial’s simple and timeless form is designed as a kit of parts. With cost and modularity in mind, Vepodial also considers Cyprus’ increased risk of inundation due to coastal storms -components can quickly disassemble, and move to safety!
The Vepodial considers Cyprus’ increased dealings with drought
an integrated Solar Still passively desalinates, purifies, and produces 2 gallons of drinking water per day!
The Vepodial: a lifeguard station, a watchtower, and a sundial too
its shadow aligns with “Troodos Stones” on the beach...marking gathering points for people, conversation, and fun!
