KH Webb was custom designing a residential home in Vail CO. Their clients are avid outdoors people, and enjoyed the year round recreating available in the Vail Valley. The architect wanted to incorporate a custom trail map into their dedicated ski room. The map needed to feature an expansive area, including Vail Mountain’s ski runs, and local hiking trails.
Felton Library Discovery Park features a section focused on local watershed activity to educate its audience on the importance of water in the Santa Cruz Area. The landscape architect specified that a 3D map be built that visualized how water flows throughout the community. Participants would engage with the San Lorenzo 3D Watershed Map by pouring water directly onto its surface, then watch as the water flows towards the ocean. The landscape architect’s design also specified that this interactive map be displayed outside, uncovered, and in direct sun so the material needed to be resilient.
The Eagle Valley Land Trust wanted to honor a long time member of their efforts by creating a new award called the Steinberg Conservation Leadership Award. This 3d relief award needed to incorporate GIS data, high resolution imagery, and parcel outlines that the Land Trust has so far conserved in their efforts. The final product was meant to be displayed on a desk or mount to a wall.
Aqua Strategies came to LGM for a Water Planning model of Millers Creek Reservoir. The main goal was to assist in client communication, so the map needed to be colorized. There is an existing dam structure on site that needed to be considered for any future planning, so accuracy was important.
As a feature necessary for their sales center, Strategic Capital was in search of a wayfinding and context model for their newly designed residential tower. Greenwich West is located in the West Soho neighborhood. One of the benefits to being here is proximity to local fare, as well as views of the Hudson River. With the amount of construction in the area, as well as competition, Strategic Partners wanted to have a physical representation of what made their location stand out.
