[edit] People’s Grocery and Wellness Village Site Design – Details

Graceful arches mark entrance to the site and the main intersections. The site is transformed from a litter-strewn, forlorn place to a well-cultivated, very green environment. All plants are either edible, or used to attract beneficial insects. The back façade, facing a residential street, is covered in espaliered fruit trees and endowed with a large window onto the cooking school to present a pleasant image to the neighborhood. Trellises over parking spaces keep the site green and cool, infiltration swales handle runoff, and a chess table pocket seating area provides a safe gathering place for people with free time.
