Split Pavilion, 1992
City of Carlsbad, CA.

Split Pavilion was a wedge-shaped space that overlooked the Pacific Ocean in Southern California. A row of railings formed a scrim, separating the park from the passing traffic, without obstructing  the view. The railing  formed a two-sided pavilion that connected the pools to the lower level of the park where the landscape was raised, the walkways were sunken, and seating was arranged to highlight the site and the landscape below.
