6th Street Park

The city wanted to showcase and add character to this very small park surrounded by urban city architecture. A combination of all the pavers and bricks Tempe has used over the years were brought together to create a unique award-winning design.
The design for 6th Street Park referenced Tempe’s historical paver and brick styles, weaving together multiple historical patterns and materials to create a small civic gathering space that honors local urban character. The scheme blends legacy brick forms with contemporary layout motifs, creating visual continuity with surrounding streets. The park’s compact footprint demanded thoughtful transitions between pedestrian paths, seating nodes, and landscaped zones.
