SOIL TYPE : SANDY LOAM

COMPACTION : RARELY AVERAGE HIGH COMPACTED SOILDUE TO OBSERVATION WHILE ON THE SITE VISIT , THE SOIL IS FOR THE MOST PART IDENTIFIED AS SANDY LOAM. SANDY LOAM HAS AN AVERAGE PERCOLATION RATE HOWEVER IN SOME LOCATIONS IT MAY BE HIGH. THE SOIL ON THIS SITE IS USUALLY OLD AND NOT DEVELOPED CAUSING THE SOIL TO BE COMPACTED WHICH INTERFERES WITH THE PERCOLATION RATE.

Sidewalk -- Pedestrian Circulation

The sit, formerly known as “Andys Garden” is mid block-on 178st and directly across from an elementary school.

The 2 lots combined are a 1.43 acre property.

IDEA 1: ARTESIA COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL CENTER-Shaping the site to fit educational purposes for entire community Indoor/outdoor educational community space Various educational hotspots Theater Jungle Gym

IDEA 2: ARTESIA COMMUNITY BASED-Designing a community based site. Entry sequence Spiral focal point Public vs. Private space.

FLEXIBILITY is a keynote strength of our desugn. It caters specifically to the Artesia com-munity rendering it a complex well thought-out plan.

DRAWINGSThe garden-park’s entry sequence, the Welcome Area, provides visual en-gagement with plentiful plantings and enriched pavement.As the guest is ushered to the three enclosed com-munity structures, totaling 4000 square feet, de-signed for community meetings, educational and recreational activities.

The enclosures are flanked by pavil-ions with concrete built-in seating that complements the enriched paving and are consistent throughout the site. Concrete pedestals provide visual focal points for the visitors.

The Meadow, bordered by lush planting and mature shade trees, is a perfect place for picnics, lounging and small or larger gath-erings. The turf is a mowed Califor-nia native grass, a low-water use plant material that is comfortable, yet low maintenance.

Both the Welcome Area and the Forest Retreat merge into the Spiral, the site’s meditative focal point, where a group-ing of Western Redbuds float above seating that looks onto the small bubbling water feature, homage to the area’s artesian water heritage. The alternate decomposed granite and turf plant material further emphasize the area’s circular delineation.

The garden-park’s entry sequence, the Welcome Area, provides visual engagement with plentiful plantings and enriched pavement as the guest is ushered to the three enclosed community structures, totaling 4000 square feet, designed for community meetings, educational and recreational activities. The enclosures are flanked by pavilions with concrete built-in seating that complements the enriched paving and are consistent throughout the site. Concrete pedestals provide visual focal points for the visitors.

The Meadow, bordered by lush planting and mature shade trees, is a perfect place for picnics, lounging and small or larger gatherings. The turf is a mowed California native grass, a low-water use plant material that is comfort-able, yet low maintenance.

The Forest Retreat borders the property on the north and east sides of the site, and features allees of trees, enriched paving, pavilions with seating, and small private areas. The retreat offers a sense of discovery; as you move through it more intimate seating areas are revealed.

Both the Welcome Area and the Forest Retreat merge into the Spiral, the site’s meditative focal point, where a grouping of Western Redbuds float above seating that looks onto the small bubbling water feature, homage to the area’s artesian water heritage. The alternate decomposed granite and turf plant material further emphasize the area’s circular delineation.

At the rear of the site, beyond a grove of mature canopy trees, a gentle elevation change leads the guest to the Secret Garden, secluded intimate “rooms” with seating for small private conversations, secluded reading and relaxing. Shrubs, enriched paving and seating designate the areas and tie-it into the rest of the site’s amenities.

The planting palette is area-appropriate and focuses on Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA) calculation to ensure a water-efficient landscape while providing heat-mitigation, visual and sensory engagement and comfort needed for a successful public project. 80% of the existing mature trees remain and the new tree plantings create an opportunity to provide increased biodiversity that result in more varied wildlife habitat. Because the area is also intended for passive recreation typical of parks, traditional thirsty turf has been replaced by low-water and low-maintenance native grasses that replicate the look, but without the monetary and environmental cost.

PR P SALTHE ARTESIA COMMONSFostering Community Well-BeingA place where all shareholders can reconnect with Nature, gather to celebrate, share or relax in a welcoming and communal environment.

Artesian aquifers fed the region’s ecology for a millennium. The natural abundance of pure, clean water attracted early settlers who then transformed the area into a bountiful agricultural district, and, thereby, became the namesake for the city of Artesia. These artesian waters sustained these settlers and fostered the health and welfare of the community that grew around it. Community Well-Being is the core of the Artesian Common’s design concept: o It is for the community; a place for all ages to gather, celebrate, and share, relax, recreate and learno It offers plentiful open green space where one can reconnect with Nature (which has been proven beneficial for overall physical and mental).o Its design focuses on ample plant biodiversity while incorporating low environmental impact. o Mature trees offset carbon sequestration and their broad canopies provide shade while area-appropriate new plantings create additional wildlife habitat and sensory engagement.

The garden-park is organized into public and personal spaces, each universally accessible: The Welcome Area, The Meadow, Forest Retreat, the Spiral Garden, and The Secret Gardens.
