Pavilion underside
COMMENCING CONSTRUCTION September 2011
Westmoreland Park Pavilion, Dallas, Texas
The Westmoreland Park pavilion concept is based on a primary form of shading, cloud cover. A welcome sight on a hot sunny day, cloud cover, offers a range of diffuse and filtered light that changes throughout the day. Like cloud formations, the pavilion will appear striking against the blue Texas sky. Playful shadow patterns will be cast across the surface of the ground changing throughout the day.
Profiled 3/16” steel louvers are hung 6” on-center from the underside of the structure. The louvers will be powder coated white giving them a durable and high gloss finish. From the ground the undulating surface of the louvers will be visible with glimpses of the structure appearing between them.
The steel structure is mounted above the louver field so that it is mostly concealed from view. The frame elements are held back from the edge and taper in places so as to be less visible from the ground.
