With the objective to create a medical campus, an existing warehouse is converted and expanded as medical offices Urgent Care, Elderly Daycare, Surgical Center, Physical Therapy, Imaging Center, Medical offices, and Cafe. The landscape design creates connections across and through the site with a new entry plaza that is shared by both buildings. The paving pattern appears to fold to create a dynamic sense of movement that links the buildings to the parking area in the rear. A lower courtyard connects the basement level offices to the main plaza. Cascading vines connect upper and lower courtyards. A series of excavations of the existing building serve as interior courtyards to provide doctors and patients natural light, fresh air, and bring nature indoors.
