Starlight Park
Facilities
Bronx, NY
In order to maximize visibility of this modestly sized building, our approach was to create innovative massing and a noticeable shape to make it visible to users. Its massing includes two tall hip-roofed forms canted to the interior creating tall vertical walls around the exterior of the simple rectangular plan, giving the building an increased presence in the park. Rainwater is channeled at the gutter between the forms into a rain garden to the southeast of the building. The tall cones are toplit, bringing daylight into each restroom and into the garage/office.
