An elevated waterfront terrace precedent combining grid-patterned stone paving, green roofs, and an open plaza layout designed for civic engagement with views of a lake.
- What we like about this project
- The pixelated multi-tonal gray stone paving creates a textile-like ground plane that visually anchors the outdoor seating zone.
