Elevation Boathouse

The objective of this project was to design a boathouse for three separate rowing teams that also incorporated a community focused program for the surrounding neighborhoods. Located in Lowell Oregon along Dexter Lake, on the grounds of Lowell State Recreation Park, the elevation boathouse serves as a constant connection between the historic athletic history of Dexter Lake and the rich community of Lowell. Through its seem less sunken ground floors that create overlooked areas to view the lake and through its constant dedication to capturing the many amazing views the site has to offer, my design was able to beautifully craft a seperated environment from the rest of the park while also shaping a tightly knit program in itself. The ending result is the elevation boathouse, a never ending engagement of athletics and community.
