Oregon Electric Station
Eugene, Oregon
Programs: Dining Patios, Plantings, Gathering Areas
This adaptation of a historic building into a modern space activated the street and spurred economic growth in the area.
The patio engages passersby while also creating a private space where people can relax and enjoy a meal. A key consideration in creating this sense of privacy was the careful layout and how the landscape complemented the space. This was achieved using simple planter boxes along the front edge, with larger plants on the west edge to increase privacy and reduce the impact of the harsh afternoon sun. The flexible patio is used year-round, creating a vibrant, welcoming place to hang out and catch up with friends.
