The Wisconsin ASLA Chapter announced their annual awards winners, including this riverfront community space in Watertown, WI designed by SmithGroup.

Pritzker Military Museum, Library, and Archives Center: O2 Design won the competition to design and build this museum honoring Cold War Veterans in Somers, WI.

Shoreview Commons: When the community of Shoreview needed a safe space for all ages, LHB transformed an aging park into a must-visit destination complete with a playground, fountain and skating pond, skatepark, trails, fields, and event space.
