The Challenge

Malls and office parks suffer from being auto-dependent, stand-alone buildings disconnected from the landscapes in which they reside. While the Burlington Mall has been a retail destination for generations, acres of surface parking with little tree canopy and an absence of compelling public spaces isolate it from the community.

OUR RESPONSE

Vine Brook once extended through the site. Daylighting a portion of the watercourse forms a new naturalized corridor that structures future development.
