TEN x TEN co-led engagement for this project, bringing many stakeholders to the table at multiple points during the design process. These included the North Loop Neighborhood Association, Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission, and Minneapolis City Planning Commission. The project was also subject for review under the Warehouse District historic Guidelines and required balancing specific historic constraints on design with the contemporary and evolving principles of public space, planting and material design. The landscape architect was responsible for leading a multi-disciplinary team on all site issues which included grading, stormwater, utilities, lighting and structure.

TEN x TEN engaged in a process investigation of the site using photographic methods, clay castings, collages, and drawings to capture the range of qualities of the site. This documentation was pulled together with an artist collaborator in an exhibition called “Residuals”. This work also served as the basis for the overall design and details.
