• Water Quality — A bio-swale intercepts all storm water runoff from the site
• Viewshed — View corridors are preserved within the community from South Platte River Parkway through the park foothills to improve visual connectivity of open space

Donald W. Bounds Memorial Park
This memorial at Lincoln Commons Park is dedicated to Donald W. Bounds who was involved with the development of Ridgegate from the beginning. Mr. Bounds practiced law with a passion for Civil Rights and justice. The design includes a memorial quote sandblasted into a concrete seat wall and a small bronze plaque describing the life of Donald and why his life made a difference to so many. The design includes a paved “pier”’ lined with ornamental flowering trees that leads to a scenic overlook with views over the park to downtown Denver.
Stanley Marketplace
Our Team was excited to be a part of the innovative design team tasked with the transformation of the 140,000 square-foot Stanley Aviation building and 22-acre site into the Stanley Marketplace; a mixed-use community destination that has already has begun and will continue to house retail, dining, offices, and a specialty grocer among other diverse potential tenants.
We formulated a concept for the Stanley Marketplace to create an inviting, attractive and functional landscape that accomplishes environmental, cultural and economic sustainability principles.
Our team has prepared a site master plan that includes a 6-acre park-like open space, event terraces and urban market plazas that will further establish Stanley Marketplace as a neighborhood destination.
Stanley Marketplace is the cornerstone redevelopment for the Westerly Creek Village Urban Renewal Plan in Northwest Aurora, Colorado. The landscape design is reflective of the site and its cultural, historic and physical context within Westerly Creek Village and Stapleton.
In keeping with our goal of uncommon respect for people, planet and purpose, we identified native landscape zones and prioritized preservation and restoration, with additional xeriscape plantings that reduce watering needs. The reduced impervious surfaces throughout the site and the reuse of salvaged materials from previous structures mitigate the overall impact of construction.
