Central Park Pool Houses
Semple Brown was commissioned to design a series of pool houses as key features in the public parks throughout the Central Park (formerly Stapleton) Neighborhood. Each pool house has an identical program, but each has a distinct personality.
For Pool House One, the team designed a structure with opposing contrasts. The heavy exterior brick walls were balanced with lighter and more translucent materials on the interior. This simple but materially diverse palette provides an easy and welcoming design that shirks ostentation.

Pool House Two was specifically designed for children. This building is intended to be very playful and loose-natured. Colorful finishes, materials that exaggerate and express their textures, and a sophisticated but subtle twist in the architecture are all intentional moves.

Pool House Three, the team chose to provide further depth to the users’ experience. The program was taken from Number One and Two and then pulled apart to create three identical pavilions in the landscape. The interior spaces sit under a low lying 150-foot roof, while circulation corridors are left open to the sky.

Simplicity at Every Turn
Embracing an inclusive ethos, Hurley Place positions itself with the river as its focal point, inviting diverse communities and fostering economic vibrancy. The Riverfront development is comprised of two residential towers, a hotel tower, and an expansive central open space connecting to the river. This central connector is flanked by food & beverage and retail establishments and serves as both a connection to the Promenade but also a gathering space for the community.
