In addition to Ken Stinson Park, Olsson Studio designed the streetscape for the entire development as well as the outdoor spaces and pedestrian plazas associated with the entertainment district and the office district. In keeping with our studio’s design philosophy, careful attention to consistent use of design elements such as crosswalk and pedestrian paving, planting rhythm, and placement of site furnishings throughout each component of Aksarben Village help establish the identity of this innovative development.

The redevelopment of this former horse-racing property is an urban, mixed-use development consisting of state-of-the-art research facilities, offices, retail, lodging, academics, entertainment and residential components. These uses are all woven together in one of the nation’s most unique urban lifestyle and knowledge economy settings.
