Design Focus
Lost in all the mumbo jumbo? No problem. Here’s a breakdown of what this project has added to the space/our design focus in one digestible pie chart.
This Project in Numbers
Proposed Trees
Trees provide shade in hot summer months, thereby reducing heat island effect while enhancing habitat for birds, insects and bees.
63
Planting Beds/Permeable Landscapes
Plants and soil combined to absorb, uptake and re-use rainwater, reducing the load of run-off into our storm system.
1,346 m²
Green Infrastructure
For this project, we've added highly absorbent and pre-grown sedum mats onto various rooftops, turning surfaces that are typically devoid of life into small little garden habitats.
781 m²
Outdoor Social Amenities
Outdoor dining/social area, a communal long and sun deck, and child play area, and various benches throughout the mews.
1,133 m²
New Public Gathering Spaces
Our design features numerous new outdoor spaces for the community to gather and connect.

03 // Refine + Working Drawings
As the Design Team refines the design and hones in on final details, supply and unit prices soar, presenting new challenges to LOCI to help problem solve and value engineer while maintaining the initial design intent.
04 // Execution + Build
On-site resolution and construction feasibility gave LOCI invaluable feedback and lessons to apply to future projects. The construction and design teams worked together efficiently to execute many unique landscape details with a high level of quality.
