The entrance pavilion sits as a ‘jewel box’ between these two elements and forms a backdrop to the landscaped entrance plaza. Utilizing the change in level to the waterway the four story parking garage is concealed, creating a clear and active street edges whilst the roof provides an extensive pool deck with views of the city and beyond. A gradual gradation of brick colors across the building provides a playful façade which reflects the rich history of brick production in Texas.
