Adding more warmth to the space

I agree with Amy - anything to make the space feel warmer is better than more concrete. I like concept A for that reason. Brick, terracotta, or other natural looking pavers would look great here. I like that this concept allows pedestrians to engage with the sculpture. I think painting the evergy box a muted green or brown would be best with this concept design. That way, most people may not even notice the box. I love murals, but I don’t think it would make sense to highlight this feature. If you can do a mural that blends in with the landscaping, that may look nice too. Finally, I’m all for repurposing the fountain into a planter. The rendering looks awful and is clearly a poorly done AI image, but I think done right, the planter/fountain would be a beautiful feature to highlight. Keep the tile work, and maybe add paint or matching tiles to the steps/surrounding area. Get rid of those posts behind it, and plant some trees. There are a trash can and an electrical box in that spot that can be painted to blend in as well. I’ve been a Westside resident for many years, and I’m very excited to see how the projects turn out!
