DESIGN ALT 2 : PINE GROVE OVERLOOK

Alternative 2 increases water access with floating docks
and an activation of the upper pine bluffs. This plan focuses
on strengthening the proposed circulation from alternative
1 and placing more programming opportunities along the SIGNAGE
path system. The proposed elements of this plan provide
a stronger connection to the river with a terrace dock and CLIMBING WALL FACADE
larger fishing dock in the bay. These water structures provide
river edge protection from wave action and sheltered swim
area. Just north of the bay is a proposed elevated lawn to
provide views over the water. This lawn then plays off of the
two activated pine bluffs. These areas include the addition
of nature play, cantilevered structure and gabion retaining OVERLOOK
walls to prevent erosion to the hillsides. GABION WALL

This plan worked to present more impactful design change
and showcase the beginnings of improving water access WATER TANK ART
to the site. The community favored this plan the least. Most
people felt it was doing enough compared to the third plan SHELTERS
alternative. Though, elements that were favored from this
plan included the play structure and elevated lawn area.
