Riverside Park has transformed an industrial stretch of Detroit's riverfront into an inclusive and multi-purpose space. As an anchor for the new park, the pavilion addresses two fundamental challenges: welcoming visitors to a long-blighted area; while providing a facility which is both durable and secure. Large sliding doors act as portals, drawing visitors into a colorful porcelain tiled interior, creating an engaging and unexpected gem-like quality that contrasts the raw exterior skin.
