一个包含两个现有结构，一个前鱼市场和仓库的土地被重新开发，以在圣巴巴拉市中心的“Funk区”市中的零售空间 – 当地艺术家，冲浪板造型商和酿酒厂的飞地。设计的挑战是将重新设计的网站编织成折衷的社区，而不是看起来像新建筑。我们设计室外庭院，人行道和停车场连接两个结构，并提供一个无缝过渡到周围的社区。

在整个重新设计的复合体中，景观和建筑设计都包含了一种低调的美学，其中包含回收现场商业和工业历史的回收材料。与建筑师合作，我们设计了由风化钢和木材制成的乔木和隔板，以定义户外休息区。从抢救的火车轨道建造的船只符合附近轨道的历史重要性。我们在独立的复合体中使用耐旱的本地植物，包含在独立的种植机和托盘中。

A parcel of land that contained two existing structures, a former fish market and warehouse, were redeveloped to house retail space in downtown Santa Barbara’s “Funk Zone”—an enclave of local artists, surfboard shapers, and wineries. The challenge of the design was to weave the redesigned site into the eclectic neighborhood without it looking like new construction. We designed outdoor courtyards, sidewalks, and parking areas to connect the two structures and provide a seamless transition to the surrounding neighborhood.

Throughout the redesigned complex, the landscape and architectural design embraces an understated aesthetic that incorporates reclaimed materials recalling the site’s commercial and industrial history. In collaboration with the architects, we designed arbors and partitions made of weathered steel and wood to define outdoor seating areas. Arbors built from salvaged train rails honor the historical importance of the nearby tracks. We used drought-tolerant native plants exclusively throughout the complex, contained in freestanding planters and trays.
