The project, located along 22nd Street, Miner Street, and along the waterfront, included street and parkway development incorporating future Red Car Line, right-of-way, key entry features, parking lot, and public area landscape. All plant material selections were made congruent with the waterfront and Port Landscape Master Plan documents. Sustainability and Low Impact Development (LID) practices guided LCI’s use of drought-tolerant materials, which also provided shade and aesthetic enhancements. Palm trees were utilized to create the California experience and accent entries and parkways. The LCI approach included POLA maintenance concerns and lifecycle costs balanced with maximized visual appeal to create a destination environment at the new marina.
Cabrillo Marina Phase II
This facility in Huntington Beach is an innovative training center that develops the learning and technical skills of both cadets and students by providing an environment that best balance quality enhancements of both building design and landscape.
LCI achieved this goal by creating a park scenario for passive recreation, biddle and grinder courses for physical training activities and memorial as a focal point next to the building’s main entry. A number of prominent trees were protected through strict construction and management procedures while applicable stormwater techniques such as Modular Wetland Biofiltration systems were considered for the project.
