VA Reflection Garden

This Design build project was a unique opportunity to retrofit an underutilized parking island into a unique Reflection Garden. Located on the grounds of the Long Beach Veterans Hospital, this unused island was transformed into a walking hub with seating areas. The paths are designed to direct the busy pedestrian flow from the parking areas and between buildings. By utilizing unique planting and massing, each pedestrian is able to experience a unique experience throughout the year. The seating where located to create opportunities of people watching within a garden setting. This garden is a positive addition to the Long Beach Veterans Hospital.
