Current project working with a large design team for a new fire station on an urban infill site. Work includes a conceptual landscape plan meeting the City of Asheville’s landscape ordinance using native plants and including a raised vegetable garden.

A site plan was developed for this small and challenging property to accommodate the building expansion, new entrance and walkway, outdoor spaces for the animals, and planting beds. A remote parking lot was later developed on a steep site requiring sensitive grading and attention to drainage issues.

This project included sidewalk and parking lot improvements to a River District property at a prominent intersection. The historic character of the neighborhood was preserved with the use of old brick as well as tile created by an artist and used around tree pits and door entrances. A piece of granite curbing with a 1800’s era date was relocated to the curb by the front entrance. A planted berm with a sculpture was created to separate the parking lot from the street.

The project involved navigating through the City of Asheville’s approval process for a Conditional Rezoning as well as zoning and grading permits to redevelop the site. The site plan included the renovated building, new parking areas, accessible ramps, new transit shelter, sidewalk, grading and drainage plans, and landscape plan for the property with many site challenges.

Prepared site plan for commercial expansion project for City approval of Unified Development Ordinance requirements. Plan included new parking lot, new sidewalks on two sides of corner property, retaining walls, grading and drainage plan, and planting plan.
