Project Details

Along the banks of Brushy Creek, just north of downtown Round Rock, the Lawn on Brushy project fills in a missing piece to the extensive trail network and offers a variety of new public amenities on the 20-acre site. Two architectural elements proposed in the first phase include a pedestrian bridge and signature pavilion. The proposed 350-foot pedestrian bridge provides a much-needed connection between Heritage Trail on the north bank and downtown Round Rock to the south. The weathered steel trusses draw inspiration from the railway bridges throughout Central Texas. At one of the primary intersections near the corner of the site, a cloudlike structure floats among a grove of trees, drawing people to and through this gateway unveiling a view of the lawn to Brushy Creek. The undulating surface of the pavilion is constructed of aluminum tubes, oriented vertically and open on both ends to maintain a visual connection to the sky and creating varied degrees of shade dependent on the depth of each tube.
