Queens West (Stage II)

Architecture Landscape: Queens West (Stage II). As prime consultant and lead designer, Abel Bainnson Butz, LLP (ABB) led a team of ten design, engineering and environmental firms to design the public parks and street infrastructure for this 13-acre waterfront development project. 

The park includes a 2,100 linear foot waterfront esplanade, a sweeping central lawn area framed with informal block seating, constructed cove wetlands, an 8,000 square foot children’s play area, kiosk and a community garden with a contemporary arbor, trellis and garden shed. Novel entry structures with integrated signage demarcate the major entries. For seating and lounging options, park users can choose among broad hammocks, Adirondack-style chairs on raised wood decks, chaise lounges, benches and chairs along the esplanade, and moveable café-style furnishings at the vendor kiosk and community garden.

ABB worked closely with product developers to refine concrete pavers containing recycled glass. Photovoltaic systems on park buildings and a demonstration grey water system also made their way into the final design.
