IN PROGRESS
LEGACY LAKESHORE
Las Colinas | Irving | Texas

Developer: LEGACY PARTNER
Architect: REES ASSOCIATES, INC.
Landscape Architect: DCBA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Currently under construction along Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas, Legacy Lakeshore will be luxurious living at it’s best. The 5-story multi-family development will be comprised of 243 units on a 3.38 acre site.

DCBA worked closely with the architects and other members of the design team to develop a sophisticated landscape design reflecting the upscale nature of the development. The streetscape design along Lake Carolyn Boulevard will feature shade trees and a variety of plant materials providing seasonal interest along with enhanced paving materials bringing attention to a sunken courtyard outside the leasing office. The promenade along Lake Carolyn is enhanced with Pistache trees providing shade combined with a repetition of beds with ornamental grasses and flowering shrubs.

DCBA designed the interior open courtyard as an attractive and comfortable gathering space for the residents with resort-style pool, water-wall fountain, grilling stations, and trellises providing shade.

Legacy Lakeshore is scheduled for a 2020 completion.

CRESCENT PARK
Craig Ranch | McKinney | Texas

Developer: CRAIG RANCH
Landscape Architect: DCBA LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Construction was recently completed for this 2.5 acre park located within Craig Ranch, a 2,200 acre master-planned, mixed –use development located in west McKinney. Crescent Park is surrounded by a variety of land uses and creates a space that offers a partially secluded retreat for all potential users. The park is located along a major spine that enters the community core of Craig Ranch. A series of ascending sculptural elements, ranging in height from 5’ to 10’, located in a large swath of ornamental grass, catches the drivers’ eye and frames the entrance to the park. At the center of the park is a large open space framed by a curved Crape Myrtle lined walk, berming, and drifts of native ornamental grass. The open space can be used for free play or organized events. Also featured is a unique terraced amphitheater-like space that sits on the southwest corner of the park.  This feature is located adjacent to a site planned for a City of McKinney Fire Station. Provisions have been made in this space to provide a possible Fire Fighter or First Responder themed sculpture as a centerpiece which will provide a visual connection to the Fire Station. Crescent Park represents DCBA’s talents in designing parks that go beyond functionality and provide a catalyst for creating a better quality of life for a park,s users.
