Alta Riverwalk and Cumberland River Greenway Trailhead, Nashville, TN

Alta Riverwalk, located in Nashville's Metro Center, is a multi-family development designed to reflect the character of historic factories along the Cumberland riverfront. Amenities in the unique outdoor living spaces are accented with industrial-themed brick and steel elements and include features such as a golf simulator with putting green, outdoor movie screen and viewing area, hammock garden, gaming lawn, outdoor seating areas with firepits, grills and TVs, an outdoor fitness area with cross-fit gym, and a resort-style pool. To further draw residents outside, our landscape architects designed a makeover to the nearby Cumberland River Greenway trailhead and provided enhanced pedestrian connectivity to the trailhead from the development and surrounding areas.

Handy Park, Memphis, TN

In 2018, Kimley-Horn and brg3s architects were selected as the Handy Park Design Challenge winners by the Downtown Memphis Commission. The park was viewed as an underutilized and unusable civic space asset on historic Beale Street where impromptu blues jam sessions were regularly held. Realizing the space's importance and potential, the Commission issued the design challenge to receive feedback and design ideas for local architects and designers. Kimley-Horn and brg3s collaborated to create the master plan vision for this civic space and developed 3D images to illustrate how the improvements would revitalize the park.

With phase one of implementation completed in May 2021, Handy Park is now a transparent civic space extending from Beale Street and serving as a dynamic music venue, event space, and flexible civic space for events and activities year-round. The new park includes a central and flexible open plaza anchored by existing businesses, a sloped lawn seating area, tree plantings, a robust lighting package, a unique access-control art wall and fencing solution, and a more prominent home for the statue of the park's namesake, Mr. W.C. Handy. The renovated park has better access-control solutions, enhances the concert-goer experience, and offers a flexible civic space with a distinctive local atmosphere in the heart of downtown Memphis.
