Planning Design Studio

On Wednesday evening, the Planning Design Studio team stopped by Weldon Spring City Park to enjoy an evening of live music and community activity at the amphitheater/event lawn our team helped design over two years ago, along with the restroom facility, pavilion, and several other park amenities.

With a strong crowd gathered and live music from The Bright Side filling the park, it was great to see the space being actively used and enjoyed by the community.

Lessons on Landscape Architecture ✨🌳

Principal Andrew Franke visited Brentwood Park to share insights on the planning and design process with Maplewood-Richmond Heights Elementary’s 5th-grade class. The presentation highlighted several key aspects that Planning Design Studio implemented at Brentwood Park, including the tunnel connection beneath Manchester Road, along with the park’s flood-resilient design strategies and the role of the central lake feature as part of the site’s stormwater management system.

We hope we inspired some future landscape architects!

We’re excited to share more progress at Schroeder Park Playground! 🛝

Recent drainage work has been completed, along with the curbing and drainage for the zip line area.

It’s great to see the site continuing to take shape as more playground equipment is installed over the coming months ahead of the August grand opening.

A time-lapse of this progress can be viewed on our YouTube.
