Northfields Ponds

Denver, Colorado

Thanks to a progressive-minded client, the new Northfields Ponds Park at Stapleton has become a demonstration of how a storm water management facility can become a popular public park and wildlife sanctuary that elegantly complements the natural habitat. Aerial photography showing river delta drainage patterns was used to develop a real-world metaphor for the landscape design. The pond manages 1600 cfs from the surrounding 460 acres of commercial development.

This project was completed by Doug Lamson while employed by another firm.
