HWC provided landscape architecture and site engineering design services for an open courtyard and perimeter streetscape for 1North, a four-story residential development in the Nickel Plate District of Fishers, Indiana.

The streetscape project includes two major frontages: Lantern Road and North Street, which required coordination to meet current Nickel Plate District standards.

City Hall

HWC worked with studioAXIS and the City of West Lafayette, Indiana to provide survey and site design for the rehabilitation of the existing West Lafayette City Hall site. The existing site had a building that was salvaged and completely remodeled to preserve the existing façade.

The previous site design was revised, and a new parking lot and utilities were built. The east entrance of the building was improved to create an exterior plaza, new exterior spaces, and our design helped preserve the character of the existing building. A future expansion of the streetscape is planned for the west side of the building.

The existing site contained a rain garden that was improved and drainage for the site is now collected before release from the site. The City installed a new water main along the north side of the site and provided new utility connections for all utilities. HWC also worked closely with City officials to develop a landscaping plan that enhanced the site and met all required ordinances.

Downtown Loop Trail

The Crawfordsville Downtown Loop Trail is an INDOT-funded multiuse path that, when all phases are complete, will connect Crawfordsville’s culturally significant destinations, neighborhoods, and downtown shops in one complete loop. This local trail will also connect to the regional Sugar Creek Trail, making downtown Crawfordsville a more accessible destination.

The first phase, completed in 2019, connects Wabash College to the library, Pike Street Market, Pike Place Pocket Park, and Fusion 54, the downtown workshare community center. The trail consists of a 10’-wide concrete path with custom pavers, new ornamental lighting, rest nodes with benches and trash receptacles, and trees and sod.
