Community Plan

Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Public Garden, & Community Market

Made in collaboration with Ethan Simmerson. In this LEED BD + C Certified project we wanted a communal space the integrates the cycles of man and nature. We took an empty playing field of the Bayville Farms Park in the Bayside neighborhood of Virginia Beach, VA and designed public areas for studying, mingling, snacking, and meditating. To create intimacy in such a large lot we create programmed different area to create little pockets. Meandering paths connect a public garden, coffee shop, restaurant, farm, labyrinth, and shifting community market. Too dreamy and earthy selections create a comforting yet imaginative atmosphere.
