LGLA collaborated with Berliner and Associates to create an urbane outdoor living room for the campus at Valley College. A light steel canopy floats over the southern half of the courtyard, defining an exterior gathering area for the campus art gallery. The fountain, accented with linear stone tile, is flanked by dramatic sculptural plantings of aloes and groundcover succulents. Movable furniture allows the space to be used for casual gatherings and large functions.
