Vollick McKee provided complete site design for a 212-unit residential/ commercial structure of this major downtown waterfront development, including an adjacent waterfront park and boardwalk amenities.
Work involved:
• Designing and detailing numerous exterior features including a spectacular water fountain, landscape walls, terraces, a public performance space, parking areas, and Halifax’s largest green roof;
• Designing a private residential area that includes gardens, a synthetic turf putting green, walkways, a swimming pool, an outdoor hot tub, and a cabana;
• Responding to serious design challenges such as the appropriate reuse of contaminated fill materials found on site, loading restrictions for the planted roof of the parking garage, and storm water management (in response to high tide conditions);
• Site planning and detailed design work resulting in the fluid integration of the mechanical, structural, and architectural characteristics of the building and the building site, of public and private space.
