Jefferson Heights Pavilion
This design was selected as the winner of the Jefferson Heights Park Pavilion Design Competition in 2009. The competition established aggressive goals for meeting green building standards – such as reusing 100% of the former pavilion structure, harvesting rainwater in cisterns and incorporating composting toilets. The inspiration for the function and form of the pavilion is derived from the prism. While a prism separates light into its visible spectrum, this pavilion’s design acts as a “reverse prism,” drawing together a diverse array of neighborhood residents into a common place for recreation.
