Land and Water Pavilions

Although the two pavilions are placed in different locations within Lincoln Park, they are connected through appearance and materiality. The floor plans are based on honeycomb shapes, creating several hexagonal areas. Each design includes a tree, yellow lights, benches, wooden walkways, and limestone walls/columns. The pavilion placed on land is inwardly focused with an emphasis on privacy and offering a space for individuals to pursue activities such as reading or relaxation. The land pavilion is composed of seven hexagons, with each section being separated enough to encourage privacy while also offering many exit paths. The pavilion placed by the water is outwardly focused with an emphasis on appreciating the surrounding environment through sitting or walking. This is encouraged through the three hexagons being connected with a winding pathway.
