ALPENGLOW COMMUNITY PARK
AIA Oregon Architecture Awards “Merit Award”
Alpenglow Community Park, a newly developed 37-acre site in Bend, Oregon, showcases the natural beauty of the high desert landscape. The park's name and architecture are inspired by the volcanic peaks of the Three Sisters and the Cascade Mountain Range, which dominate the western view. The project features three structures: an event pavilion, a picnic/restroom shelter, and a pedestrian bridge. The material palette integrates weathering steel, ribbed concrete, and locally sourced Ponderosa Pine, drawing inspiration from the site’s native vegetation, colors, and basalt rock formations.Location // Bend, Oregon
