This community recrational center was designed to accomadate certain required parking and sports activities. One specific sports requirement was to have batting cages. The design solution maximized ideas about infrastructure, repeating an existing parking garage typology that used staggered floor platforms. These platforms staggered the sports events as well, creating viewing opportunities. The feature element was the batting area which we located on the roof to shape a playful, functional, green garden that overlooked the city and became a community point for roof top urban culture.
