“The intent of the Beauty Petal is to recognize the need for beauty as a precursor to caring enough to preserve, conserve, and serve the greater good. We need beauty to recognize and enrich our lives, and to honor the impacts of the things we make. If we do not care for the things we utilize every day, then why should we extend care outward to our communities and the natural world?”
– International Living Future Institute

Watershed incorporates elements of beauty and education throughout the project. A pedestrian will encounter educational steel signs that can double as rubbings and pause along the terraced Troll Ave hill climb. The project also features a two-story hangar door laser cut in a design that nods to the neighborhood’s popular Solstice festival and provides entry into an open air lobby.
