Rosewood Park / Woodhouse Tinucci Architects

Florencia Mena — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:00:00 +0000

The Rosewood Beach Development projects integrates four new buildings into Rosewood Park's splendid beachfront by blending them into a canonical waterside element—a 1,500ft-long boardwalk that hugs the bottom of the bluff, connecting access points at each end and opening to Lake Michigan along its east side. Program elements are housed in simple, small-scale, low-profile units strung out along the boardwalk like kiosks or pavilions. Building elements are long, low and thin, largely transparent in the north-south direction, and topped with boardwalk planks so that all views up and down the beach and from the park above are fully preserved. At the north, the environmental education pavilion is a large, open space, backed up by a thin service bar containing restrooms and storage. The pavilion's north and south walls are sliding glass doors which open to decks outside, fully connecting it to the boardwalk and allowing views right through the pavilion. Its east wall is mullionless glass, giving an unimpeded view of the lake.

The Sailing Center is Northwestern's most direct connection between the campus and its spectacular location on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Right on the beach at the water's edge, the Sailing Center is home to the University's intercollegiate sailing team and its student sailing classes. The LEED Gold Certified building is composed of staggered blocks (the sailing office and a “garage” for boats and gear in front; the learning center and locker rooms behind) linked by a light-filled glass box containing the entry area.

The new Commons is a 15,500sf renovation that creates a vibrant gateway, connecting campus and Library while emphasizing its importance as the University's 24/7 heart. It provides an array of flexibly interconnected learning/living environments---single-user tables, group workstations, deep lounge chairs, booths with banquettes, high counters with stools, soft sofa modules---spread through a variety of lounges, study areas, “smart” classrooms and seminar spaces, a cafe, and spaces for social interaction and performances.
