Because this site is prominently located on the major north south vehicular artery near downtown Tarpon Springs it was important to provide an attractive roadway buffer for passing vehicles. To soften the views of the large building and parking area clusters of trees and large masses of ornamental grasses were specified along the project perimeter. Clusters of native palms and shrubs along the building façade reduce the building mass and height. Shaded pedestrian walkways lead customers to the building entries. Small pocket parks with shade trees and benches provide a place for a short rest.
