A six week design competion for a rest area in the Salt Flats of Utah. This design offers an alternative experience to the disorienting immensity of the desert by juxtaposing the intimacy of the human scale to the Salt Flats vastness. Visitors emerge from the confines of the access tunnel beneath the highway directly into building as a way to control the abruptness of the transition to the space of the Salt Flats. Program is divided between over-night and shortterm guests by a bifurcating stone wall which encloses the cafe and joins the landscape.
