Proposal for a new Fieldhouse on the site of Welles Park in Chicago which is one of the 5 parks created by the Lincoln Park Commission. The current fieldhouse was built in 1970 and struggles to engage with the community from an approachable perspective as well as an attractive. I produced what I would believe would be a better solution, providing several points of access and invitation as well as an aesthetic that represents the vernacular of Chicago and the beautiful heritage that has made it’s architecture beloved by their residents.
