BURGER KING DOWNTOWN TAMPA

Due to its location in the Tampa Downtown Overlay District streetscape elements were incorporated on the three street frontages. Wide sidewalks, large street trees and benches provide convenient pedestrian access. Expansive areas of structural soil surround each street tree location under the sidewalk, allowing adequate root area for the canopy trees to grow. Evergreen understory trees and large full hedges are used in the interior site areas to provide relief from the heat and glare of the surrounding roadways. Masses of ground cover with colorful foliage soften the hard edges of the building and provide rhythm and continuity. The small emerald green lawn area is a welcome contrast to the surrounding pavement areas.
