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.
45
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.
108 m²
Outdoor Social Amenities
Outdoor dining/social area, a communal long and sun deck, and child play area, and various benches throughout the mews.
46 m²
Bike Lane/Mixed-Use Paths
We've done our part to incorporate the City's mandated tree-lined sidewalk and bike lane in a city-wide effort to encourage bike use and non-vehicular circulation.
33 m²
Improved Streetscapes
Lining the streets and sidewalks with new trees, and the addition of street lights, benches, trash receptacles, and adjoining open spaces.
129 m²

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.
