Scorebuilders is a small, 10,000sf commercial-office boutique developed as the first lot in the 150-Acre Innovation District. ALA was the lead master planner and landscape architect charged with laying out the Innovation District. The design centered around a four-way intersection with streetscape enhancements and a pavilion design by ALA which doubles as both shelter for commercial mail boxes as well as a future bus stop. Scorebuilders approached ALA to help design and permit the small commercial building and site. As the first lot to be permitted in the large subdivision, ALA faced the challenge of proving to the local planning board that our placemaking and design guidelines we had developed through the master planning process would be employed successfully on the the Scorebuilders lot and in coordination with the surrounding intersection. This project offered the unique opportunity for ALA to integrate public streetscape and placemaking design with the private commercial lot. The outcome is a decidedly elegant, modern, and tasteful site.
