Throwback Thursday - KHI Pocket Park, Topeka, Kansas

LAND3 worked alongside Hufft on the Kansas Health Institute Pocket Park, located across the street from Kansas’ state capital building. The pocket park pays homage to Dr. Samuel Crumbine, a famous Kansan and first secretary of the Kansas Board of Health, attributed with inventing the fly swatter and public health campaigns such as “Swat the Fly” and “Don’t Spit on the Sidewalk.” A statue of Dr. Crumbine interacts with the park, perceived as speaking from his soapbox to those visiting and using the park. Paver plazas are engraved with quotes of Dr. Crumbine’s and bike racks on site are fashioned after the fly swatter.

The various spaces accommodate education for field trips but also daily users over lunch or on break. The park also celebrates Kansas landscape, incorporating native plant materials and natural landscape features including a series of limestone seatwalls.

Throwback Thursday takes us to Duck Run Natural Cemetery in Penn Laird, Virginia!

LAND3 Studio worked with Jeff Hodes, who was a previous client on several Catholic cemetery development projects to master plan a natural cemetery in the Shenandoah Valley in western Virginia. The idea of a natural cemetery centers around natural, nonchemical burial rituals within a native landscape. The native landscape aspect of natural cemeteries strives for natural water management, flora/fauna diversity and native materials.

The final master plan for Duck Run Natural Cemetery, centers around a natural plant succession concept with woodlands surrounding the site, mesic prairie/savannah inhabiting the majority of the site and a lowland meadow rill and pond in the middle of the site. Pedestrian circulation and architectural components are positioned on site to take advantage of the panoramic views to the surrounding Shenandoah Mountain Range and George Washington National Forest. Natural materials are utilized throughout the site and are the basis for creating a look for the cemetery that embraces the local culture and landscape vernacular.

Even 25 years later, we still stop to reflect on those that lost their lives on 9/11/01 and to honor the first responders who saved so many lives. 🇺🇸

Flown out of the Kansas City International Airport recently? We’ve got our Land3 handprints on this generational project!

LAND3 Studio was selected as the Landscape Architect for the Kansas City International Airport New Terminal project. Working directly for the architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), LAND3 designed exterior spaces including entry and exit drive sequences, pedestrian gardens, and visitor circulation routes from parking to the terminal.

First impressions of a city are made when visitors drive away from the terminal. Landscape spaces will reflect the historic and local landscape vernacular of the Kansas City region. LAND3 developed final schematics and construction documents as part of their scope of work.
