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.

The goal of the commercial office project was to create a sustainable solution by rehabbing an existing building into a Class A office building. Prior to construction, the land surveying performed an ALTA survey, boundary survey, topographic survey, plats and legals and construction staking for the project so as to ensure complete and accurate information for the project while utilizing the latest in software and field equipment technology.
In addition to the site improvements, bio-treatment and self-retaining areas are utilized in conjunction to treat stormwater runoff from the 9.4 acre site. Eleven separate bio-treatment areas are dispersed throughout the project area.
