Lampasas County Breezeway Project
Lampasas, TX
Project completed February, 2012
Waters Walkway
The Waters Walkway Corridor was part of the planning process of the
Lampasas County Annex II.
The County Commissioners needed to provide for the rapid growth of the
County offices but they also wanted to provide a space for the public to
enjoy as well as providing access to a new parking lot at the rear of the
building to the historic square.
The City collaborated on this project by providing the funding for the
public restrooms, a much needed amenity, in the Walkway Corridor itself.
Overview
The County Breezeway
project was designed to
reflect the unique
heritage and character
of the city of Lampasas,
TX.
Designed around the concept of the springs and waterways of Lampasas, viewers
experience a cool and inviting environment as they move between the historic town
square and newly created parking lot behind the County Annex Building.
Seven low arching shade
elements suggesting waves
keep the breezeway cool
even in the hottest of Texas
summer days.
Movement is created by an
inlaid mosaic “river”
walkway running the length
of the breezeway.
On the east side of the
breezeway is a pocket park
consisting of a circular area with
tables and benches situated
under the shade of a pecan
tree.
In the center, a fountain in the
shape of a stylized yucca plant,
the water bubbles up from its
center and disappears below
the surrounding rocks and is the
source of the quasi river tying
together the park area with the
breezeway.
In collaboration with a local
non-profit organization,
Vision Lampasas, a mural
was painted in the
breezeway that speaks to
the Sulphur Creek water
shed and its ecosystem.
The breezeway is used daily
by people who use the
parking lot behind the annex
building or have lunch in the
park.
The tables in the pocket park
also double as game tables,
with permanently fixed
chess/checker boards.
