HHEAL CONCEPT
HHEAL WORK
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.
• Roof top garden
• Community interactivity
