SOUTHLAKE, Texas ?EUR??,,????'??? The Landscape Architects for TERRABROOK's 550-acre Aventerra master-planned business community recently received a Merit Award in the Planning and Analysis category from the Texas Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA). Jim Manskey and Michal Tincup of TBG Partners, which provides landscape architecture services for Aventerra, were named recipients of the prestigious professional award. They said the landscape design was integral to the entire Aventerra master plan. ?EUR??,,????'??The challenge for the planning and design team was to establish an image and identity for the property and the project that would differentiate it from its highly regarded corporate neighbors of Solana and Circle T Ranch,?EUR??,,????'?? Manskey said. ?EUR??,,????'??It was determined early in the process that by responding to the natural characteristics of the site, this project would be unique.?EUR??,,????'?? Tincup said that planning a suburban corporate development by preserving native grasslands, wetlands and woodlands is an unusual approach, especially in this location, and one that the Landscape Architect has promoted as the vision for the project. ?EUR??,,????'??The landscape concept has been the driving force throughout the master-planning process to date,?EUR??,,????'?? Tincup said. ?EUR??,,????'??The three naturally occurring landscape zones we preserved highlight how different this suburban corporate project will be once it is constructed.?EUR??,,????'?? ?EUR??,,????'??Every individual element that goes into Aventerra was created and defined with a special emphasis on how it fits into the larger Aventerra vision,?EUR??,,????'?? said Richard Croteau, vice president and general manager for Terrabrook's Aventerra project. ?EUR??,,????'??The ASLA's recognition of the landscape architecture plan underscores the quality and aesthetic TBG Partners brought to this project. The landscape dominant approach to development differentiates Aventerra in the marketplace.?EUR??,,????'??
