The landscape at 500 Santana Row commercial office buildings enhances the pedestrian experience by connecting the new office structure to the existing shopping district, while also providing an outdoor meeting space and rooftop amenities with site-wide stormwater treatment. The landscape is situated primarily over structure, with all planting either in raised planters or recessed into structure below the first level. The planters are clad with wood to create a wood-lined, barge-like container, supporting a series of smaller outdoor rooms. Wood seating is integrated into the patio for a retail space and under the solitary oak tree where refuge from the hot summer sun is found.
