Abravanel Hall
LOCATION – Salt Lake City, Utah
SIZE – 1 Acre
CLIENT – Salt Lake County
SCOPE – Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning
COMPLETION – Summer 2015
As part of a multidisciplinary design team led by HKS Architects, our team studied the site and prepared options to rejuvenate the pedestrian plaza by making it more accessible, opening views to the striking building facade, and creating outdoor rooms that accommodate summer concerts and downtown visitors.
New seat walls and raised planters are included to define spaces and provide users a place to rest. A bosque of trees shades the open lawn and provides a comfortable place for visitors to enjoy. Future plans include a new prominent fountain supporting a video display on the fountain jets.
