Poulsbo Event and Recreation Center
community gathering for sports and other events


The Project consists of Phase 1 development of a community park and sports fields. Schemata Workshop was responsible for all site structures, consisting of picnic shelters, an all-gender restroom, storage for both athletic equipment and park maintenance equipment and supplies.  The restroom, organized by privacy zones rather than gender, features a common sink area to make the sinks more accessible to all park users, including those patronizing food trucks. 

Designed to complement to the Nordic/Pacific Northwest aesthetic of the town interpreted through a modern lens.  While scattered throughout the site, a consistent aesthetic language will provide cohesive design.  The structures all feature wood cladding, exposed rafter tails, deep overhangs and wood brackets. 

A pre-engineered building manufacturer was engaged that allowed the team to leverage the efficiencies of pre-engineering but was able to tailor and customize structures to the project’s specific design intent.
