Situated along the banks of Shoal Creek in Downtown Austin, Pease Park is the city’s oldest public park and one of its most loved. With a focus on its built elements, historic features, and cultural resources. The new park design weaves together the mature existing vegetation with a robust program of facilities and amenities comprising event rental spaces, new restrooms and storage facilities, a treetop observation pod, natural playgrounds, a basketball court, and an interactive water feature that recalls the karst limestone aquifers found in the Texas Hill Country.

皮斯公園位於奧斯汀市中心的淺灘河畔，是該市最古老的公園，也是最受歡迎的公園之一，該項目以建築元素、歷史特徵和文化資源為規劃重點。新的公園設計將現有的成熟植被與強大功能和便利設施結合在一起，包括活動租賃空間、新的洗手間和儲藏設施、樹頂觀察艙、自然遊樂場、籃球場和一個互動水景，讓人聯想起德克薩斯山地的喀斯特石灰岩含水層。

Featuring steel mesh walls and a color palette inspired by the landscape, the buildings recede into the background. A new, low ribbon-like limestone wall visually and physically unifies the various outdoor elements as it winds its way through the park. Stepping up and down in elevation, the wall transforms to become a series of steps up a hillside, a seat wall, and other times acts as a flush band within the sidewalk. The park’s recreational amenities are also designed to encourage interaction with nature and educate visitors about Central Texas geologic formations and water systems. An all-abilities new playground consists of climbing structures, swings, and balance elements made of natural wood beams and cargo netting that blend into the surrounding tree cover, carving out a place for play in a wooded landscape.

The park’s location in a flood plain presented a particular set of challenges. Materials were chosen not just for proximity to the site or for their beauty but also for durability in major flood events. Architectural elements were intentionally designed to highlight rather than overshadow the natural setting.

這些建築使用的鋼網牆和受景觀色調啟發而退到背景之中，一個嶄新的、低矮的帶狀石灰石牆蜿蜒地穿過公園，從而在視覺上和物理上統一了各種戶外元素。牆的高度不斷起伏，變成了一系列上山的台階、座椅牆，其他時候則作為人行道上的一個平坦地帶。公園的娛樂設施也被設計為鼓勵與自然互動，以及使遊客了解德克薩斯州中部的地質構造和水系統。一個全功能的新遊樂場由攀爬架、鞦韆、天然木樑及吊貨網製成的平衡元素組成，與周圍樹木融為一體，在林間景觀中開闢了一個遊戲場所。

此外由於地處洪氾區，因此建材的選擇不僅僅是為了貼近場地或為了美學追求，也是為了在重大洪水事件中的耐久性，建築元素被有意設計為突出而不是掩蓋自然環境。
