landscape architecture and public art
Project type: Landscape Planting design and resilient maintenance practices
Partners: Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO)
In the second phase of work with METRO, the TMC transit plaza gets a landscape overhaul to create a robust pocket prairie that absorbs water and provides a new engaging lush landscape of native plants. Featuring dozens of different native species of wildflowers, grasses, and shrubs, the landscape plan reimagines what a transit hub could look and feel like.
Our maintenance practices guide for the transit center focused on how to create a more comfortable microclimate with changed pruning practices and the addition of many shade trees.
