Mitchell Park Place is a new mixed-use development that consists of a new
office space for public social services as well high-quality affordable housing
for lower-income households, including special needs housing for the intellectually and developmentally disabled (IDD) community.

 

The landscape design concept accomplishes the following: provide interesting and comfortable active and passive use outdoor spaces for the building residents; integrate stormwater management strategies as functioning and valuable components of the gardens; and blend with the surrounding landscape typology as a visual amenity to the neighborhood.

​

Drawing on neighbors’ input at community meetings, the perimeter of the site is planted with evergreen trees to buffer the residential units from the busy road, screen on-site parking, and provide physical and visual separation from the adjacent multi-use path.

​

The gardens offer ample seating as an extension of the community room, accommodate raised vegetable beds for gardening by residents, and include a meditative sensory garden with a labyrinth.
