Tallgrass worked with our friends at ARC International on the site plan, irrigation and landscape. Ferber did a great job with the site infrastructure, including working out some tricky irrigation elements!
Some of the key design pieces were great building entries, enjoyable patio settings, a waterfall in the pond, a screening berm toward Catron that didn’t seem like a screening berm, and allowing for future site expansion pads in a simple but logical way.
