Grand Junction, a multipurpose urban project in Westfield, Indianapolis, was envisioned a few years before the pandemic began with the goal of developing an array of public outdoor programming. In addition to a park, trailhead, ice skating rink, and a playground, the ongoing 5,860-square-foot project includes an outdoor performance space situated under a monumental awning composed of an undulating wall of locally sourced stone blocks.

 

“The combination of contextual materials, emotion generating details, and novel geometries that work to create a positive impact on our memory create places that people will want to come back to and share with their friends,” says Matthias Hollwich, HWKN’s founding principal.
