village green at university village // seattle, WA

The Village Green offers 31,500 square feet of space for gathering and special events at University Village, the outdoor lifestyle shopping center, located near the University of Washington. The new green space is also Santa’s holiday home base. Water features, benches, seat walls, and moveable tables and chairs provide places for visitors to stop and enjoy the active scene.  Planting beds feature Camelias, Daphnes, Hydrangeas, Japanese Forest Grass, Hellebores and others shrubs and perennials.  Seasonal plantings are also added to the mix.  The tree species are a mixed variety, including Tulip, Katsura, and Japanese Maple trees.   

The project’s environmental benefits include the reduction of point source pollution with the elimination of 30,500 square feet of parking and roadway.
