“New Corporate Green” is a functional design approach creating a high density business district for the west side of Manhattan, KS. Incorporating a variety of retail storefronts, office spaces, and residential lofts will allow for actively growing development on the current sites of Plaza West and Garden Way along Seth Child Road.

SITE METRICS “New Corporate Green�strives to create a balance of office space, commercial retail, and residential housing. The proposed development is a viable business district that generates revenue for the city. This design is intended to create a district where professionals can work, live and enjoy the recreational opportunities the site has to offer.

Building massings are colored according to land use for each building floor The land use breakdown analyzes each building type for its percentage of total built area and square footage, by individual building (bar graph) and for the site as a whole (pie chart).

The planting palette was selected with a focus on function and seasonal interest. In the cold Michigan winter, creeping juniper, inkberry, and azalea maintain their color and screen the parking and busy road. Spring brings bright white blooms to the Serviceberry lawn trees, as the dogwoods blossom with bright yellow flowers. In late summer, the blooms of Potentilla and Anise Hyssop really come to life.

Autumn brings the bright red of the Sugar Maple and Highbush Blueberry, accented by the yellow foliage of the Tamaracks, Birches, and Dogwood trees.

Perennials / Grasses

The Children’s Hospital Courtyard design in Ann Arbor, Michigan is intended to create spaces to be lost and found, similar to a game of hide and seek. The hospital courtyard opens to a playground, shaded by a canopy of Ironwood trees and enveloped by a mass of perennials and shrubs. From the play space, one can easily meander on to the open lawn and retreat into the private counseling spaces for a quiet conversation.

ROCK GARDEN Rivergrove Respite will conserve water resources through design of functional stormwater features such as a native plant raingarden in the parking median. The parking lot is sloped towards the center to collect and contain the precipitation and runoff. Layers of native vegetation are used to create an aesthetically pleasing walking trail experience.

ART ON THE RIVERFRONT “Interwoven” is a series of boardwalks and pavilions located on the banks of the river in Southeast Park, where they connect the existing trail system directly to the water’s edge.

Given the close proximity to Manhattan Town Center, there is plenty of nearby parking to be utilized for large events and

gatherings on the site. A space for all of Manhattan to benefit from, “Interwoven” is an outdoor venue that can host many different groups and events, such as concerts, bonfires, movies, and community meetings.

The Charlotte Sawyers Natural Area is a site filled with natural wonder that truly encapsulates the local ecology, yet in its current state, it is left underutilized.

Through site programming, trail circulation, and planting design, the new vision for the Natural Area will create an experience that aims to remain in the visitor’s mind as a place to explore and understand their native ecosystem.

OUTDOOR THEATER 23

The vision of Poyntz Promenade is to transform the downtown district into a walkable retail destination with a recognizable urban character and flexible programming elements.

To accomplish this goal, a network of ecologically functional spaces manages stormwater flows, enhance walkability and characterize and beautify downtown Manhattan.

24

Poyntz Promenade is intended to benefit customers, business owners, and developers alike.

Hoping to increase the number of users and the length of stay, the redesign of historic Poyntz Avenue and downtown Manhattan will highlight the district’s opportunities and add to the existing character and atmosphere through ecological design features, enhanced walkability, and a coherent sense of place.
