CLIENT: PRIVATE LOCATION: NEW YORK, NY
STANTEC WAS SELECTED TO DESIGN A 7,000 SQUARE FOOT PLAZA AS WELL AS THE STREETSCAPE FOR THREE FRONTAGES ALONG A LARGE OFFICE BUILDING IN TRIBECA.
THE DESIGN ADDRESSES KEY ISSUES SUCH AS CREATING A FLUSH PLAZA SURFACE WITH ADJACENT SIDEWALKS, AS WELL AS PROTECTING EXISTING MATURE PIN OAK TREES.
THE DESIGN MEETS THE GUIDELINES FOR A PRIVATELY-OWNED PUBLIC SPACE, AND INCLUDES AN ENGINEERED SURFACE BRIDGING OVER EXISTING GRADES WHERE NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PROTECT AN ESTABLISHED MATURE TREE CANOPY. THE UNDULATING SEAT WALLS ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF THEIR FOUNDATIONS TO SENSITIVE ROOT ZONES, AS WELL AS FOSTER SOCIAL INTERACTIVITY WITHIN THE PLAZA.
