This model highlights the area of the design by the existing walkway and stone retaining wall that had slowly been covered by dirt, debris and overgrowth of invasive species. By uncovering this, exposing the history and the beauty of these hardscape elements, it is then contrasted by a bioswale area that is planted with trees, shrubs and grasses that work with and extenuate the natural topography of the earth, allowing water to flow and absorb into the earth while nourishing these plantings, creating a cool, peaceful habitat for urban wildlife and a reprieve for people living and working nearby from the harsh, hot and noisy urban landscape that surrounds this focus site on all sides.
