Conservatory Green
How can a civic green be designed for every day and event day?
Designing a gathering and events space to support flexible programming
At its heart, Conservatory Green is a performance green and plaza surrounded by retail and housing.
To create spaces that are visually and physically comfortable for both small groups or a large crowds, design was driven with programming in mind. Farmer market tents fit perfectly along aisleways between landscape walls, with plenty of room for shoppers to circulate. A plaza hosts smaller gatherings, a water wall for summer splash, and a pavilion with a large fireplace and seating.
