Woodstock Park is officially open! A partnership between the City of Virginia Beach and HRSD made it all possible.

Did we mention the skate park sits on top of an underground storage tank for wastewater? AND we had Team Payne on the team to drive the design of the skate park, who we also worked with at Williams Farm Skatepark also located in Virginia Beach!

Oh hey, Bay! Derek, one of our landscape designers

Oh hey, Bay! Derek, one of our landscape designers, was out doing a site visit in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area (CBPA) today.

WPL has a high success rate of helping property owners get their projects approved within in a Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area (CBPA) site. The Chesapeake Bay Act prohibits development within a certain distance from the water’s edge. This Act is managed by the Commonwealth and enforced by local municipalities. Significant portions of the properties subject to this Act are located in areas determined to be environmentally sensitive. A variance to the act will conditionally relax this restriction allowing for improvements to be constructed. Then the Chesapeake Bay Board will hear your case & WPL typically then creates a CBPA Site Plan Exhibit to be reviewed by the Board.

As part of The Cavalier campus master plan, the design team implicated a motor court design to establish a unified Cavalier campus. A road realignment has been attempted and failed in this area in years prior, which prompted the developer to reimagine The Cavalier properties as an entire campus experience. The new “cul-de-sac” design alleviates traffic on Atlantic Avenue and joins The Cavalier campus with the Marriott Oceanfront and the Cavalier Beach Club as well as the soon to be 12-story Embassy Suites.

A year ago, WPL was contacted by a writer, Jared G

A year ago, WPL was contacted by a writer, Jared Green, to review a portion of a book he was writing about green design that focused on the Brock Environmental Center. Jared’s writing had a big emphasis on site design and ecological restoration so the Project Architect (SMITHGROUP) made sure to rope in WPL to review the technical details from a site perspective.

The book features 35 case studies from around the world, including buildings, landscapes, plans and a few products.

Today, we have the book in hand! The Brock Center case study details the history of the site and what this living, breathing building can do! 💪🌱

The book is for sale at bookshop.org which supports independent bookstores! Congratulations to Jared Green on his book success.
