Called 'Afterparty', this furry looking pavilion was the winning entry of the 2009 MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program competition.
Located in New York outside of the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Centre, Afterparty is covered in an Indonesian thatched palm-fibre.
Afterparty is slated to be used as an event venue this summer. It includes a bar area, seating and water.
