THE ALLEY
retail arcade outdoor-seating
retail congress st @ intersection
Arcade and Landscaped Edge with “contained” Outdoor-seating. Sun-brakes shade the Arcade from the strong West sun.
ARCADE + LANDSCAPING
Urban Floor - Letting the sidewalk be level with the street and using the same paving on both sur-faces creates a more generous sidewalk.
Different shaped Bollards sepparates the sidewalk from the street- parking. The Bollards can be used for seating and Light and they can function as Meeting-points along the Street.
At the wide parts of the Sidewalk tree grates out of laser-cut Steel are mixed up with the use of a softer material, Decomosed Granite or Sand to give a more varied natural feeling to the sidewalk but also to allow more water to the trees.
SIDEWALK
The Vestibule
The Gate- Garage Entrances are framed by the overlying building but set back from the face of the Arcade. The “break” in the arcade is easily perceived from a distance and indicates for the cars in the street where to enter. The building over head the entrance keeps the Streetedge intact.
ENTRANCES
Short cuts - Freestanding Column at the corner of a building, the build-ing steps back a little for the pedestrian , letting the pedestrian step on the nicer “carpet” underneath the building, within the footprint of the building/ the private. Loosening up the edge between private and public.
