Structural Architecture
& Landscape Elements
•Minimize structural exposure to the site elements
•Camouflage exposed structure with native plants indicative of the site
•Use new window technology to reflect and display site landscape elements
•Use low-impact design techniques for surrounding site landscape features
•Rain gardens•Porous pavers•Retention ponds
•Uncompetitive intervention within the existing landscape fabric
