Olive + Wooster (87 Union Street)

OVERVIEW
Olive + Wooster is a six-story mixed-use building with 299 residential units, street-level retail, outdoor dining, two rooftop courtyards, and podium parking located on a 2.6-acre site. The building connects two major downtown neighborhoods in New Haven and offers an enticing and safe neighborhood geared toward the urban pedestrian. The streetscape design draws on the rigid structure of the building, incorporating linear banding to fold the vertical building lines horizontally onto the pavement. Trees removed during construction were upcycled into tabletops featured in the interior amenity space to promote sustainable design. Langan provided multidisciplinary services for this project, including landscape architecture, site/civil, traffic, and survey.

Bedford Square

OVERVIEW
Langan provided site development consulting services for Bedford Square, located in the heart of downtown Westport. The project included the complete renovation and restoration of the Bedford Mansion—previously home to a YMCA—and Central Firehouse, partial demolition of the buildings, rehabilitation of historical components, and the addition of retail and residential space. Our landscape architects worked within diverse architectural styles in downtown Westport to create a pedestrian landscape and new place for gathering unique to the downtown district, one that fits the historical and contemporary character of this quintessential New England town established in 1835. Our landscape team designed streetscapes, plazas, alleys, site architecture, lighting, and plantings—all on a rooftop.
