Our Work

Waterfronts

Now more than ever, communities are recognizing the value of strengthened waterfront connections.  From linear stream corridors with trail and open space linkages to vibrant public parks adjacent to lakes and riverfronts, these areas offer special opportunities for place-making that celebrate our connection to one of earth’s most precious resources.

Confluence is experienced in crafting plans for waterfront areas that promote wide ranging goals including community access, open space vitality, and environmental stewardship.  We are familiar with the unique circumstances and issues affecting these areas, and are skilled in transforming potential site challenges and development limitations into opportunities for community education, interaction, and understanding.
