Date of Completion: 2012

Commissioning Agency: City of Escondido, CA

Design Team: Schmidt Design Group, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Lumm-Bohne Civil Construction

Project Descriptions:

Terrazzo Picnic Tables: As design team artist, I installed two picnic tables sited under the trellis at the South end of the plaza. The Future Table and bench tops feature terrazzo inlays that depict the night sky as seen from nearby Palomar Observatory. The History Table features assets related to Escondido’s past such as farm equipment, orchards and water.

Outdoor Livingroom: Arranged like furniture in a living room, two groups of sofas, end tables and coffee tables provide a comfortable setting for visitors to the plaza to relax and put their feet up.

Fountain Seat Wall: As part of the interactive water feature the colorful tile and glass seat-wall recalls the water that was brought to the area by the Escondido flume completed in 1905.
