Nuzzles, Whimsical Foam Noodle Nests That Provide Warmth in Winter

NUZZLES is a warming hut concept that consists of foam noodles sprouting from a heated aluminum base. Much like fur, the foam noodles (actually pool noodles) help trap warm air in the structure. People are encouraged to create noodley nests in NUZZLES as a way to warm up during outdoor activities in winter. NUZZLES was created by Toronto architecture studio RAW Design for a warming huts design competition sponsored by The Forks in downtown Winnipeg (it was one of three winning entrants). NUZZLES can be experienced at the Red River Mutual Trail in Winnipeg during the 2014 winter season.
