Placed in a grove of trees, cornered between Dexter lake, Shoreline Drive, and the hills surrounding the valley, which contains the lake and the town of Lowell, is the site of the Lowell Community Hall and Rowing Center. The project's goal is to bring many people together under their common causes; the rowing center attracts rowers and the community hall to give the people of Lowell and neighboring communities a meeting place for meetings and events. Just as the project is meant to tie people together, I designed it to also tie the people to the landscape, tie land to water, and the earth to the sky.
