This is a 25'x35'x4.5' recreational swimming pond in downtown Boyne City, MI. Built for a family with a toddler and teenager this Aquascape system relies on biomimicry for crystal clear water and safe water without the use of chemicals. Using a bog, intake bay, wetland and waterfalls to filter the water this pond remains clean and fun. When not being played in it is a beautiful thing to behold and with the lights installed the night vignettes are magical. The family has a pond house (pool house:) on the far side of the installation which was also designed and built by Waterpaw.

Recreation rooms are so much fun because they are a playful space for family and friends to be together and relax. Functionality is paramount, the design needs to address how the room will be used by each family member. This masculine lair is a sophisticated testament that great style can also be family-friendly and highly functional.

A high privacy glass block shower was used for this recreation room basement remodeling project.

Settled into the open prairie space of the residential Watauga, TX neighborhood, the Watauga Community Center looms smaller than it really is. Its design language of stepped clerestory linear windows bring the mass of the gymnasium scale down to a friendly, inviting scale. Architect Eric N. Rohlfing, in collaboration with LBL Architects, designed the 20ksf Watauga Community Center and park master plan. Amenities include: lobby, gymnasium, weight room, multi-purpose room, game room, art-craft-kiln room, classrooms, locker rooms, offices, lobby, exterior walkways, terrace and parking among existing native oaks. The 15 acre park site also features an existing senior center facility and proposed future natatorium, soccer fields and additional parking. The linear organization of the recreation center lobby will link to the future expansion and is abundantly lit with a ribbon of clerestory windows and skylights. The transparency between spaces via glass partitioning, facilitates natural lighting, exterior views, spaciousness, security, and the interconnection of activity between rooms. Likewise, the gymnasium, weight room and control center are also visually connected to each other and to the exterior with north glazing, glass partitions and clerestory windows. Surfaced-ground, exposed aggregate concrete block, brick, aluminum storefront glazing, standing seam galvanized roofing, exposed structural steel, stainless steel hardware, and clear varnished wood millwork comprise the Texas contemporary palette of materials.

This 3,300 sqft building serves as a spectator pavilion for the new recreation fields in Florence, Massachusetts. Prior to the town purchasing the land for public recreation, the fields had been farmland for over a century. The form of the pavilion references the agricultural history of the site, as well as the outdoor nature of the program, by taking a modern approach to a classic New England barn. The pavilion provides a strong, quiet backdrop for the activity on the fields, and offers shelter and seating for the players and spectators gathered there. Strung between each pier is a built-in bench, providing spectator seating, and—on the side facing the parking lot—seating for those waiting to be picked up. Spatially, the building explores the ability of modular forms to read as both solid and void. http://www.jsphoto.com/
