This project is an exploration of the relationship between glass and nature. The pavilion, sited at the southern edge of a multi-acre park, was designed as a pedestrian gateway to park. A suspended glass and cable steel enclosed room embraces the park and a large, below-grade retail facility. The transparent envelope and structure allow for daylight while laterally dissolving the line between the interior and exterior. Spatially, the pavilion creates multi-level views to the park, contrasting panoramic surface vistas with deep vertical space.
