Project Brief
The Garrison Yacht Club is planning to build a pavilion at its current dock and harbor facilities across the Hudson River from West Point Military Academy. The new pavilion will provide for dining and entertainment functions and will give members and their guests unobstructed views of the River and Harbor. The pavilion is designed to incorporate the existing earth and masonry causeway and the club’s ceremonial flagstaff. The project became possible when the existing aging piers needed to be replaced. The newer, longer piers allow for the new dock and 2nd floor to be built in the same location as the existing dock. The Pavilion’s design is suggestive of a yacht’s design with elements such as an aft deck located in the entrance of the pavilion’s first floor, the bridge at the 2nd floor rear and the stern pointing toward the river.
