Donna's First Penta-Hut 

The 1st hut built by World Harmony Project was used as a portable shelter for the office and ticket booth at the 2nd Festival of World Music and Culture. 

It consisted of 2x2" framing, held together with hubs and bolts. This was covered with Clear plastic sheeting for the roof, and screen around the sides.

Donna bought the frame materials from World Harmony Project, when  our 7 year lease was up and could not be renewed.

She brought it to her home in Ocala, Florida and used the same construction techniques as we had used for Jeff's house, including the cupola roof.

Being the daughter of an artist extraordinaire, it was decorated somewhat elaborately.

This hut was used as a hang-out space for her growing family.
