Design elements include public seating areas, a fountain plaza, outdoor dining, and specialty paving. Features also include a dramatic landscape palette and project identification graphics / signage.
CREATING HARMONY
As landscape architects we strive to amplify and enhance the architectural character of each project through site design elements that create strength, balance, and harmony.

Our opportunity, as designers, is to learn how to handle the complexity, rather than shy away from it…and to realize that the art of design is to make complicated things simple.
Designing in three dimensions, BGB creates seamless transitions between earth forms and building forms to create elegant landscape features and elements.
