Tower Oaks Landscape Architecture

VIKA worked with the master developer and their partner to layout a close-knit neighborhood of homes nestled into a wooded area and centered on a clubhouse and park. The block layout was purposefully designed to avoid stream buffers that are preserved in a woodland conservation area and the internal streetscape and open space design provides additional native plantings focused on trees that will ensure a leafy, shaded sidewalk and park system.

The open spaces provide a variety of environments and are highlighted by local artist Dale Rogers’ whimsical sculptures that pick up on the nature-based theme. The central park houses a community center designed by Deveraux Architects with numerous interior amenities connected to a large pool with a beach entry, seating areas around fire tables, and grilling and dining areas. These gathering spaces lead out to a large lawn area, playground, and sport court to provide opportunities for play and recreation at all ages. A short walk to the west of the central neighborhood, a large underground stormwater vault system provided the team with an opportunity to create a dog park over this area that would otherwise remain an un-programmed lawn. With separate fenced spaces for large and small dogs, this space adds to the amenity package that enhances the community’s ability to get outdoors and stay active.
