The Walk

The Walk is a creative infill new neighborhood in the Winslow Town Center located on Bainbridge Island, WA. On a quarter acre site, the plan achieves a density of 30 dwelling units per acre. A distinctive feature is “the walk”. European in character, the walk is a linear common space with shared amenities including play space, seating areas and community gardens. Connections to trails and carefully detailed streetscapes and parking courts knit the new residences into the existing neighborhood fabric while providing common spaces and small private courtyards.

View Project Website

Located a short distance from the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal, this new 140 home LEED Silver neighborhood will include townhomes, flats, and lofts. This neighborhood is thoughtfully designed to fit into the historic and new neighborhood fabric incorporating a 1-acre public park and well-detailed public streets and private lanes. Homes overlook the new park, courtyard and green streets. The centerpiece is an amenity rich terraced courtyard framed by 3-4 story stacked flats. Two to three story townhomes and lofts with carefully detailed streetscapes are located along the edge of the site providing a graceful transition to adjacent mixed use and single-family neighborhoods. Several heritage trees, originally from Kew gardens are preserved. Innovative features include covered bike parking, car sharing, EV charging stations, transit shelter and public space.

Old Orchard Lodge at Arrow Peak Ranch

The architecture of the new Old Orchard Lodge at Arrow Peak Ranch references rustic park lodges of the National Park System built in the early 1900’s. The site and landscape design will incorporate these important references as well as references to nature and human activities in the western landscape. Experiences, design details and sightlines from the new lodge will connect guests with nature, native people, exploration, and the settling of the west.

Pleasant Beach Village Resort

Pleasant Beach Village, a new mixed use neighborhood by Wenzlau Architects for Windermere, was conceived as an extension of the historic Lynwood Center shopping district on Bainbridge Island, WA. A 4-room lodge and seven cottages are proposed for the less than 1-acre site. The interior courtyard will be a cottage garden with a variety of traditional plant species and the surrounding perimeter will be a woodland garden to provide continuity with the adjacent native forest. The project has recently gone through the city’s SPR process.

Fairbank Residence

FBP developed a site and planting plan for the Fairbank residence on the shores of Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island, WA. Access down the steep slope was provided with a cascade of sandstone slab steps connecting patio terraces. The slopes were planted with native species and other drought tolerant species such as Lemon Beauty Box Honeysuckle, Wood’s Compact Kinnikkinnik and White Rockrose, ornamental grasses such as Pink Fountain Grass, Mexican Feather Grass and Dwarf Maiden Grass, and perennials such as Black-eyed Susan and Purple Coneflower.

Chiado Residence

FBP designed a portion of the grounds for the Chiado residence on the shores of Manzanita Bay on Bainbridge Island, WA. The approach from the driveway to the house was transformed from a large, tired lawn to a dynamic set of shifting terraces consisting of different gardens, a dining terrace and a small lawn panel. These new spaces are defined by low, custom granite seat walls. Grade transitions were achieved with slabs of Ozark Sandstone stone as steps. Plantings consist primarily of low groundcovers, perennials and ornamental grasses to preserve the ‘clearing in the forest’ feel of the property as it is surrounded by mature forest. Specimen trees- a Sazanami Japanese Maple and a multi-stemmed Persian Parrotia provide striking texture and leaf color as the focal points for two of the main gardens. Elegant pedestrian lighting was installed for evening use of the walkways and dining terrace.
