Bethesda MD
This Montessori School is located in a former church built in the early twentieth century. My job was to integrate existing elements into the new design and address the ongoing stormwater issues the school had been experiencing. Existing wood structures were reused for the playground structure & rear deck and stormwater run-off was integrated into a play element by providing a runnel between the rain-barrel and the rain-garden. A donation of a vertical vegetable garden was made after contacting the manufacturer. In the end, all aesthetic elements were functional, sustainable, and at the appropriate scale.
This Project was installed by Bryan Simmons and his team from Greenroom Construction.
