The Plaza design is best described as minimal yet expressive. The use of Bella, a hard natural limestone in a warm terracotta hue, lends a grounded and inviting character to the space. Exposed granite defines the steps, while cement blocks are used for the pavers.
The minimalist nature of the design is further enhanced by the crossing of overhanging beams, which frame and inform the spatial experience of the plaza.
The plaza serves as a social gathering space, seamlessly integrating landscape elements within its layout. The wide linearity of the design emphasizes openness and guides movement, while the soft integration of greenery brings life and balance to the hardscaped features.
