Marquise

Marquise transforms a standard building entrance into a dramatic experience of threshold, and an icon that redefines the public pool.

Gridded doubly curved surfaces comprise the brightly colored canopy and as well its self-supporting structural system. 

Marquise billows open from the ground where it forms two contiguous seats, extending this point of entry into a welcoming social space.

Marked by a two-way Cheshire gradient, the ultra-thin, lightweight aluminum structure entirely transforms the approach and initial experience of its host building, a new public pool for El Paso.
