Westmoreland Park Pavilion – Offering Innovative, Creative and Forward Thinking
The Westmoreland Park Pavilion concept is based on a primary form of shading; cloud cover. It offers a range of diffused and filtered light that changes throughout the day. Profiled 3/16” steel louvers are hung 6” on-center from the underside of the structure. The louvers are powder coated while giving them a durable and high gloss finish. From the ground the undulating surface of the louvers are 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. This project remains creative and unique because of the simplicity of the structure. Murray Legge, FAIA, LZT Architects, Inc. was the lead architect and Michael L. Johnson, AIA, NCARB, NOMA was the Associate Architect on the project. Murray Legge is a profound mentor. To take an existing utilitarian structure and turn it into a whimsical, futuristic aesthetic structure is unique, creative and forward thinking.

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 filter light that changes throughout the day. Like cloud formations, the pavilion will appear striking against the blue Texas sky.
