Whisman

in

The landscape concept for 545/515 N. Whisman modernizes, enlarges, and connects the two revitalized buildings with a shared landscape that can be utilized by employees and visitors to both buildings.
The existing site featured a large vehicular drive from N. Whisman Rd. that led to an additional circular drop-off that is oversized for the campus’ needed circulation.  The new landscape design maintains the drive but amends the layout to enlarge the pedestrian landscape and courtyard into the unnecessary circular drop-off, which will enhance the pedestrian experience, while still maintaining the required parking and vehicular circulation for the campus.
The new design creates a central promenade that creates a clear visual corridor with open sightlines and flexible use space down the center for outdoor collective use. This is accomplished by providing two concrete sidewalks entering the courtyard from the new Whisman Rd. drop-off, with an additional walk cutting across the site to juxtapose on-grade flush decking with synthetic turf and low-water-use planting at the edges. All three pedestrian pathways lead to an on-grade social area with an overhead arbor (20’x 45’) and flexible-use movable seating and overhead lighting.  Additional designated seating areas are scattered throughout the design, with a mix of seating on concrete pavers and flush wood or synthetic-wood decking.
The courtyard maintains several mature trees on-site, keeping four large sycamores in the middle of the design and several other existing trees up against the buildings. The large and healthy trees that are proposed to remain allow for the modernized landscape layout, while still proving large tree canopies immediately after construction of the landscape.  In total, six trees remain on-site with three trees transplanted and replanted on-site.
With the enlarged landscape, central flexible use space, defined seating areas, and targeted pedestrian circulation, the landscape design for 545/515 N. Whisman blends the modernized buildings into the landscape while offering practical flexibility in a beautiful and enhanced outdoor landscape.

Sons of San Jose

This monument was unveiled in 2013 to honor and remember the 142 “Sons of San Jose” who were killed in action during the Vietnam War. It is located in downtown San Jose at 393 West Santa Clara Street and Delmas Avenue. HMH had the honor of being involved in the landscape process for Sons of San Jose. The memorial creates a small gathering space and pausing point for pedestrians walking along the street. The landscape design helps form an inviting sense of space to the park. HMH also provided land surveying services.
