Sometimes a client comes to you for one thing but ends up wanting a pool 🏊 🤷🏻‍♀️💥

With this CBPA site, we were able to accommodate a 18-32 foot pool all while incorporating a natural and native planting design with a contemporary terrace and pool layout.

One of our expertise is addressing drainage. There are four primary watersheds in Virginia Beach alone!

WPL has been working on innovative Stormwater solutions and strives to think outside of the “convention Stormwater engineering box”.

Pictured here is Bow Creek Recreation Center and during the early site planning phase, it was determined that the project has the potential to improve rainwater quality for both this site as well as the entire upstream neighborhood. The new Bow Creek Recreation Center was awarded multiple awards for its many sustainable strategies with its resilient landscape.

Construction is moving along swiftly at the Prince

Construction is moving along swiftly at the Princess Anne Middle School site!

The project underwent 9 months of public participation in the firm of both building and site design workshops. WPL spreadheaded thd site workshops and coordinated 3-D modeling of the site with the architects’ building in order to provide stakeholders an ability to virtually walk through the design and make critiques. Overall, 15 site design scenarios were explored which only strengthened the final selection.

From here, WPL designed the planting composition and all specialty area plazas, forecourts, materials and furnishings. One powerful feature central to the design was daylighting of a storm pipe on site! The pipe was removed and opened up to become a naturalized wetland channel for handling additional Stormwater and creating an outdoor learning exhibit!

Isn’t she a beaut? WPL was retained as the landscape architect on the adaptive re-use of building 138 at Fort Monroe, Virginia. The location and proximity to the Case are Museum and FMA Administrative offices suggested that this building would be best suited as the Fort Monroe Visitor Center.
