This innovative landscape design transforms a vacant site into a living canvas of greenery, offering residents moments of serenity amidst the city's vibrant energy.

In collaboration with AECOM, D/O Architects has crafted a mixed-use development where architecture and nature engage in continuous dialogue. The building's signature vertical gardens become both its identity and its heart—verdant spaces thoughtfully integrated throughout the modern condominium tower that enhance biodiversity while providing intimate retreats from urban life.

On the eighth floor, a winter garden creates a microclimate of humidity, greenery, and sunlight, offering a lush escape even during Minnesota's coldest months. Above, an agricultural landscape bands the rooftop, providing roof-to-table ingredients for the corner restaurant below—a sustainable cycle that connects residents to the rhythms of seasonal growth while reducing the building's carbon footprint.

At street level, an active formal public right-of-way invites community engagement, seamlessly connecting private living with public experience. This thoughtful layering of green spaces—from public thoroughfares to private gardens to productive roofscapes—represents our ongoing commitment to architecture that transcends conventional boundaries, creating environments that nurture wellbeing while contributing meaningfully tour ban ecology.
