CALDWELL, IDAHO WAS ONCE A TOWN FORGOTTEN BY THE LOCALS AND VISITORS ALIKE. GGLO WAS HIRED TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE DOWNTOWN RE-VITALIZATION EFFORTS.
THE FIRST MAJOR PROJECT, INDIAN CREEK PLAZA (NAMESAKE DUE TO THE NAME OF THE CREEK THAT RUNS NEAR IT), CREATED A LIVING ROOM AND YEAR-LONG GATHERING PLACE FOR THE CALDWELL COMMUNITY TO CALL HOME.
AS A PROJECT LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND LEAD DESIGNER, CREATED THE OVERARCHING VISION WITH A CONCEPT OF "PALIMPSEST", THE NOTION OF LAYERING THE PAST WITH THE FUTURE. THE PLAZA DESIGN HONORS THE HISTORY OF CALDWELL WHILE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.
THE ADDED PLEASURE OF THIS DESIGN OPPORTUNITY WAS DESIGNING THE DONOR RECOGNITION PAVERS, BENCHES, FIRE PITS, AS WELL AS VERTICAL BLADES, WHICH ARE ONGOING AS PART OF THEIR DONOR PROGRAM.
