Mill Race at Provo Station is a residential and office building housing three green spaces of distinct conditions in downtown Provo, Utah. With a primarily native Utah planting palette, Mill Race is inspired by the local mountain ranges and canyons that surround the city, bringing the experience of the endemic environments into the urban heart.
Designed to be sustainable and drought-tolerant, the project works to connect each area through planting, finding commonalities and connection points between the dry shaded courtyard, sunny rooftop, and partial shaded terrace, creating a complex planting that explores the diverse conditions of Provo and its surroundings.
