AIA Utah 2023 Urban Design Merit Award Winner PARK CITY STREETSCAPE PARK CITY MUNICIPAL CORP. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT ARCHITECT CIVIL ENGINEER ELECTRICAL ENGINEER Matthew Twombley MGB+A Hoffman Architects Alliance Engineering BNA Consulting Park City draws visitors throughout the year for its world-class skiing, natural setting, abundant summer activities and authentic small-town charm. The Main Street historic district becomes the epicenter of the Sundance Film Festival and numerous community-focused markets and celebrations. The streetscape improvements made to the city center elevate the exterior spaces to support these broad-ranging activities while remaining compatible with the eclectic nature of the architecture on Main Street and the history of the community as a mining town turned outdoor recreation tourism hub. Placemaking elements and authentic materials, rich in color and texture, were selected to create a statement where appropriate and remain simple and subdued where needed. A simple palette of granite and concrete on Main Street allows the focus to remain on the storefronts of the many shops and restaurants that frame the corridor. Gathering places and connective spaces used a broader palette to aid in wayfinding and create unique experiences along the edges of Main Street and in surrounding spaces. 22 REFLEXION
