focused on developing design methodologies informed by scientific analysis

and invention, and aimed toward real application. Working closely with Westfield

Development to achieve a LEED Platinum certification, the design features an

intensive green roof. The square foot green roof contributes to a reduction of the

and habitat to the site via native plantings.

Part of the structure below will hold a 100 year flood level storm water detention

and water quality tank that will greatly improve the site contribution to storm water

quality, as well as provide non-potable irrigation water for the plantings on the terrace.
