Architect: Grinstad & Wagner Architects

HISTORY & OBJECTIVES
A 4-acre lot that has remained vacant since the 1980s after a Dept. of Transportation building burned down. Now a new development is being proposed using the newly established 'Infill Toolkit' building design guidelines. With a mixture of housing types, the design balances increased density with matching the character of existing neighborhoods, while providing a public trail through the middle of the site.
SEMIAHMOO SHORE RESTORATION

Architect/ Building Designer: JWR Design
Civil Engineer: Cascade Engineering Group
Shoreline Contractor: On The Level Construction
Landscape Contractor: Choice Landscapes
HISTORY & OBJECTIVES
During the 1980s this site was artificially raised by being used as a depository for dredged material during the construction of the Semiahmoo Marina. This resulted in the formation of a 4-5' tall eroding cliff face along the shoreline.
With the construction of the new homes, we developed a plan to regrade over 900 feet of shoreline back to its original slope while incorporating a public trail to enhance shoreline access. Native plants, cobbles and beach logs were installed to increase shoreline stabilization & wildlife habitat.
