The site/landscape design for the new RI Cloud Corporate Data Center preserved and enhanced the existing landscape. This sustainable design included the incorporation of existing trees, with the addition of new trees to enhance the site, scale, and shade. Wide plank, permeable pavers were installed for pedestrian access, which allowed water to run between the pavers, filter, and recharge ground water table. Melaleuca trees added a vertical element to the entry and the decorative paper bark complemented the building’s new façade.
Ri Cloud Corporate Data Center
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.
