The Kiosk: site builds

First two days of the on-site Kiosk build was a success. There was even an article in Richmond’s Style Weekly.

Last day of the build will be Saturday, October 15th at Hull St. Public Library. So if you’re around, come and check it out.

Afterward, the kiosk will be presented at the ArchEX East 2011, which runs from November 2-4, and there its study and findings will be discussed.

The Kiosk: an update

The Kiosk

The Plot

WPA has been heavily involved over the last 6 months with an ad hoc committee assembled by the Downtown Norfolk Council tasked with bringing life to an empty lot at the core of our downtown. The site is the future home of a Westin hotel and conference center that has been delayed by the economic downturn. Rather than let it sit empty and forlorn, we have put together plans to activate the space (on a very limited budget) largely using reclaimed materials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The overall plan provides for:
-A stage and bleacher seating for programmed and impromptu performances
-Tables and seating for socializing
-Parking space for Food Trucks
-Recreation in the form of half-court basketball
-Shade

The reclaimed materials include:
-Deer rubbed trees from the city nursery
-Planters from the previous Granby Pedestrian Mall
-Used shipping containers
-Used shipping pallets
-Discarded sidewalk pavers

The Granby Fork

We recently completed installing our public art bike rack, The Granby Fork, at the newly renovated Flatiron park on Granby Street. The nearly 13-foot tall fork sculpture welcomes visitors to downtown Norfolk’s dining district and the 18-foot long noodle gives those riding in from outlying areas a place to secure their bikes. The fork is comprised of laser cut and bent steel plates while the noodle is made from hand-formed and welded steel strips.

The Kiosk: an update

Much progress has been made on the kiosk project mentioned previously here.
Several weekends have been spent in Richmond building the structure and it is nearing completion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dare Marina Restaurant

 

Dare Marina Restaurant as seen from the water

 

WPA is currently completing the construction documents for a new restaurant building at Dare Marina in Yorktown. The site is classic Tidewater: a beautiful inlet of the Chesapeake Bay in Grafton, and the building relates directly to the local water’s edge vernacular. A deep porch wraps around for outside dining and taking advantage of the views and breezes. The main Dining Room is eighteen feet tall and includes high clerestory windows and double sliding glass doors on all sides for maximum day-lighting. And a cupola with wrap-around deck perches on top for observation over the whole of the marina docks at an even better vantage for the beautiful view.
