Boy on Planets - Reflecting a playful approach, a neighborhood plaza incorporates a symbolic version of the solar system, with over-scaled planets carved out of solid granite. The planets are linked with narrow stainless steel 'rings' inlaid into the granite flooring to indicate their orbiting paths. Beyond, tall granite columns mark the location of a central neighborhood gathering space overlooking the lake.
