60 THE CONCEPT LANDSCAPE

W Georgia St Plaza

The public plaza on Georgia St provides one of the

project’s signature expressions of the Post on Georgia.

A series of broad steps and seating takes advantage

of the grade differential across the front of the site.

These steps are embellished by a rich texturing of

active water features, formal plantings, and extensive

seating. This composition creates highly occupiable

terraces at both the upper and lower floor levels

with direct interior connections at eight of the

exisitng structure’s nine bays. Dynamic lighting will

be carefully integrated to express the site as an

attractive and inviting new gateway feature into the

city’s downtown, by both day and night. Additional

tree plantings, seating and public art are woven into

the design to further enrich the public realm.
