Spring Street Park
In a landmark collaboration, Lehrer Architects collaborated with the Bureau of Engineering Architectural Division and the Department of Recreation and Parks to transform a 0.7-acre parking lot in downtown Los Angeles into Spring Street Park. The result is a dynamic and elegant park designed to adapt over time. Lehrer Architects' bespoke Spring Street Bench Chairs enhance the park's versatility, complementing the elliptical great lawn surrounded by vined green-screen columns and a bamboo hedge. Embracing sustainability, Spring Street Park minimizes lawns, requires low maintenance, and prioritizes environmental consciousness. With a focus on sustainability, it emerges as a transformative urban oasis, maximizing its role as a desirable public space while minimizing environmental impact.
