E.L. Robinson’s landscape architects were retained by the architect to provide planning and site development documents for this innovative folk art center to be located near Beckley, West Virginia. While showcasing the native Appalachian culture, the $15 million dollar art center is designed for artisans of the region to display and sell their wares. To assist in creating an atmosphere for shopping, site seeing and relaxing, ELR’s landscape architects designed courtyards, plazas, outdoor dining areas and pedestrian walkways within an extensive naturalized landscape created to reflect the context of West Virginia's beautiful natural landscape.
ELR’s landscape architects were also responsible for the design of the access road, arrival zone and parking for 500+ cars, tour buses and delivery vehicles, plus all the site utilities, earthwork and storm drainage.
This project was completed by E.L. Robinson’s landscape architects prior to their affiliation with the firm.
