<br />Project <br />Profile <br /> <br />Project Type <br />Urban Design <br />\1(Tayzata, Minn. <br /> <br />Client <br /> <br />Wayzata Bay <br />Redevelopment Company <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />www.LHBcorp.com <br /> <br />Wayzata Bay Center Redevelopment <br /> <br /> <br />LHB is shaping a plan for a unique <br />senior housing community that is part <br />of a vertically mixed development on <br />six blocks carved from the 14.5 acre site <br />of a 1960s-era shopping mall. Working <br />in collaboration with DIAP and InSite <br />Architects, a plan is evolving that extends <br />the traditional forms of downtown <br />\1(Tayzata across the site in patterns <br />that result in more than two acres of <br />open space, 2.7 acres of green roofs, a <br />highly-pedestrian environment, and a <br />zero-runoff stormwater management <br />strategy. The plan features 130,000 <br />square feet of shops and restaurants <br />at street level, more than 200 units of <br />condominimns, and nearly 250 units of <br />senior housing. The project may also <br />include a 100 room boutique hotel and <br />up to 30,000 square feet of office. <br /> <br />Other than street parking, there will be <br />no visible parking on the site. Parking <br />structures are topped by green roofs <br />that become the front and back yards <br />of the residential units on the third level <br />of buildings. The use of a pile support <br />structure offers geothermal heating and <br />cooling of buildings, and the potential <br />for the use of geothermal heat to aid <br />in snow and ice-removal from streets <br />and sidewalks. Most significantly, the <br />creation of an expanse of space below <br />the pile-supported streets allows for <br />tlle storage and ultimate infiltration <br />of a 100-year rainfall event, keeping <br />runoff from tlle project from entering <br />tlle waters of Lake Minnetonka. <br /> <br />
