Location: Seattle, WA (Total Contract Value)

This beloved Seattle park was constructed as a five-acre hanging garden on a lid over Interstate 5.  The park includes sculpted concrete canyon rims, five fountains, each with a seating area surrounded by native plants and a labyrinth of corridors, stairwells and footpaths.  The cast-in-place fountains mask the traffic noise from the freeway below, while trees and flowering shrubs screen the surrounding office buildings.  All details of the park were custom-designed, providing an urban oasis.
