This pavilion for a dog park located in the Trail of the Lakes Municipal Utility District in Atascocita, TX is the result  of a collaboration between Metalab and landscape architects Four and One. Part of Four and One's master plan for this land included two parks for large and small dogs. Metalab's intent was to design a pavilion that stretched across both parks, creating interactive moments between people and dogs large and small under one sweeping structure. The pavilion's roof is built as a sequence of linear elements, producing a ruled surface reaching out from the middle of the park's central walkway and into the large and small dog zones at either end. The dramatic formal gesture of the roof is in reference to the dynamic character of dogs at play, be it a wagging tail or a thrown stick. Board form concrete storage rooms act as shear walls and integrated signage for visitors. The pavilion's landings are strategically raised so people walking outside the parks are almost at eye level with the dogs, bringing humans and dogs closer together.
