SITE DESIGN / INDIANAPOLIS CAPITOL COMMONS
Like a tired pair of jeans, full of holes, faded, and out of style, the landscape of this important downtown Indianapolis space needed to be replaced. Spurred on by the partial demolition of the plaza caused by construction of the new Simon Headquarters building, a new planting plan was developed. New and improved, with low maintenance, native plants. We can't think of a better place to experience a true urban garden and walk off one of the famous omelets and butter-soaked sour dough toast from neighboring Cafe Patachou.
- Reconstruction of the public garden in Capitol Commons Plaza, downtown Indianapolis
- Replacement of unhealthy plants with native species
- Formal character of the original space was maintained
- Open lawn areas and existing walks improved to encourage increased pedestrian use
