Sustainable Food Center Pavilion & Gardens

John Gaines Park Swim Center

Austin, TX, United States

STATUS
Built
YEAR
2018
SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
This pocket park with swim center designed by Stanley Studio provides a range of amenities for the surrounding neighborhoods at Austin’s Mueller Airport redevelopment. Intended to be a demonstration project of sustainable building practices, the project takes inspiration from the city’s older bath houses and pools with courtyards and crafted details. The design extends beyond the immediate swim center and incorporates features of the community garden including a shade structure and gathering pavilion which incorporates salvaged steel elements from the old airport bus shelters.

The Swim Center acts as anchor to a 3.6-acre neighborhood park in the Mueller development. The project combines deep sustainable measures with a sense of building craft and artfulness of materials. Custom rainwater cisterns, green roofs, rain gardens, and 6 kW solar-array trellis create a biophilic architectural fabric that doubles as demonstration on to visitors. References are made throughout the park to the former airport and landmarked flight tower through recurring blue color, runway-patterned playground berms, and salvaged airport bus shelter structure transformed into community garden pavilion.
