Join us this Friday as AO Partner Bruce Greenfield discusses the importance of pre-operational design considerations for surf-anchored projects on WavePoolMag's Friday Sessions. Tune in tomorrow for a conversation you won't want to miss! #AO50 #BetterTogether #AOhospitality #WavePoolMag
How to make the wave pool dream come true? We just assume the architect designs the wave pool, the contractors build it and then the paying public comes flooding in. Done. Dream accomplished. But after you’ve nailed the technology, settings, pricing, etc, suppose that it takes up to 5 minutes for your restaurant staff to get entrees from the kitchen to those coveted poolside cabanas? Your customer experience suffers and the Yelp! reviews light up with “great waves but cold food” complaints. It’s one small example of the operational considerations that must be done at the beginning of a wave pool project. In this WavePoolMag Friday Sessions episode join Certified Venue Executive Brian Stovall, CVE and Architect Bruce Greenfield as we discuss all those little things that must go into planning before the building commences. On Friday April 26 hit the below link at the following time: Paris 6pm London 5pm New York 12pm Dallas 11am San Diego 9am https://lnkd.in/err5exBw

#ProjectFeature: Oxnard's first wrap project, Town Square at Wagon Wheel, serves as the gateway to the Wagon Wheel master plan. Comprised of two wrap buildings that house 448 units, Town Square is the catalyst for a new urban and walkable mixed-use community near Oxnard's favorite shops, restaurants, parks, entertainment, and freeway access. Repurposing historical elements, a retro main street environment was created, which includes the 25,000 SF bowling alley, a craft brewery, boutiques, and numerous restaurants.

Celebrating #EarthDay during #WorldLandscapeArchitectureMonth seemed like the perfect time to appreciate how landscape architects contribute to our planet’s sustainability and play a vital role in building a greener world! One great example: The AO Landscape team is working alongside DSRT Surf development to convert 24 acres of golf courses into a dynamic mixed-use development that will integrate drought-tolerant and native landscapes, set to save 11 MILLION gallons of water annually! Through the use of the most current irrigation technology, AO remains thoughtful to maintain and support sustainability, much of the water used by the surf lagoon will be reclaimed through dry wells, effectively recharging the aquifer and recycling water. AO’s landscape architects design stunning spaces that benefit both the environment and the community. #WeAreAO #BetterTogether #AO50 #WLAM2024 #AOlandscape #DSRTSurf #surfparks
