JAX RIVERFRONT COMPETITION

Jacksonville, Florida

The Jax Riverfront project highlights a rich natural environment for Jacksonville communities to enjoy. There was an important emphasis in embracing nature by defining the natural edges and creating space within the natural infrastructure of the Jacksonville Riverfront.

Discovery in nature allows a sense of separation from the urban world to personal experiences and senses to each person’s surroundings. Reflection enhances the feeling of being in nature and allows relaxation while enjoying the view and listening to the river flow.

It was important for the Dix Hite & Partners, in collaboration with Agency + Landscape and Planning to emphasize a design with climate resilience in mind, withstanding sea level rise within 5, 25, 50 and 100 year floodplains. My contribution to this project includes the rendering of the planting plan and the floodplain diagrams.
