Landscape Architecture
Appearances and functionality are everything when it comes to the built environment. Our team of skilled landscape architects designs the outdoor built environment with aesthetics, social and environmental functionality in mind. From urban, suburban and rural environments, Tract Consulting creates pubic and private spaces that are both socially functional and ecologically responsible. We take a down to earth approach to our work and it shows.
Case Study
Grand Falls-Windsor Riverfront & Downtown Redevelopment Plan
The Grand Falls-Windsor Riverfront and Downtown Development Plan was prepared for the Town of Grand Falls – Windsor to provide a conceptual master plan for the lands along the Exploits River and the downtown core focused on High Street. The plan area encompasses a scenic river that is a tremendous asset to the town but has been used for industrial purposes and is largely inaccessible to the public. In addition, a downtown main street that was planned in the early 1900s with heritage attributes such as an original roundabout and the gathering hall and large area of land along the riverfront that is under development and owned primarily by the town.
The objectives of the plan were to:
– Enhance the river resource while protecting the aquatic habitat, important view and public access;
– Attract local residents and businesses to the downtown and riverfront to create long term economic and social viability;
– Attract visitors to the downtown and river front;
– Create walkable and memorable environments.
