Brooks County Safety Rest Area
Brooks County, Texas
A cluster of humble toilet buildings anchor a grassy quadrangle at a highway rest area. Considered to be the gateway to the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the rest area grows out of the earth, and echoes the region's historical references in scale, form and texture. A careful sense of order gives structure to the winding randomness of nature yet visitors are reminded of the natural environs in the details and the craftsmanship.
