Urban Triangle Park

Seattle, WA

Urban Triangle Park

Civil design elements such as stormwater infrastructure with bioretention planters, rain gardens, and permeable pavement elevate this downtown park, popular among workers, residents, and visitors alike. MKA’s design utilizes the below-grade building slab as a barrier to underlying contaminated soils.  It also employs carefully selected and strategically placed fill to create a below-grade gravel detention facility for stormwater from permeable pavers above.  Elsewhere, curb bulbs and street improvements create an inviting space for pedestrians.
