Landscape Architecture by Dig Studio

Creating inviting and inclusive public spaces can depend not just on fun attractions but on addressing the practical needs of shade, bathrooms and security.   

For those keeping an eye on their splashing kiddos, or simply in pursuit of the airborne mists of a splashpad in a desert, the foliage-inspired shade structure cuts otherwise merciless rays. Nearby bathrooms, tucked into Scottsdale's botanical abundance, balance the privacy of full-height stall partitions with the security of an open plan.
