The Loophole, situated in Waterloo Park, aims to unite three secluded areas within the park: the soccer fields, the arboretum and the river. The seven loops that comprise this pavilion create an appealing pathway to connect these areas of the park. Built using glulam wood and covered with standing seam metal roofing, the pavilion offers shelter from the sun and rain and provides a unifying area to enjoy the park.

Despite its compact size, the structure features a generous working space. It includes a desk with a view of the lake, a snug bedroom area inspired by a small boat's cabin, storage through a compact closet. The Laurel Lake Retreat was designed without the use of electricity, serving as a threeseason living space. To compensate for the absence of air conditioning, the design has three operable windows strategically placed to enhance cross ventilation.
