Singing Hills Recreation Center / Perkins&Will

The Singing Hills Recreation Center design began with a modest budget and program located on the fringes of downtown Dallas. The site offered a hilltop punctuated by natural limestone outcroppings, densely wooded surroundings, and adjacency to a new public transit line. Growing excitement about the project led to a series of community meetings where the participants generated a list of aspirations for the building, asking that it become a beacon, have a clear identity, and prioritize community and the natural landscape.
