Arvada Hoodoo Space

CITY OF ARVADA, COLORADO For this pedestrian accessway between a car park and a city street, I designed a spatial experience with particularity, inspired by regional geological formations known as Hoodoos. This was as an alternative to the previous concept of a brick wall with planted urns to screen views of parked cars. Rather than just blocking the cars, the Hoodoos foreground views while disrupting direct sight lines to the car park. Many of the stone facets are hand carved, some of which are easily understood, others less readily interpreted, lending the overall experience to varied readings. I generated the concept while working for Nuszer Kopatz Urban Design Associates, and detailed it later for Artscapes LLC, who built it.
