COMMON GROUND 2001

Commons Park, Denver, Colorado, USA.

18’ H x 200’ L x 50’ D

Native stone, concrete.

A 200 ft. handicapped accessible path leads visitors to a special place, overlooking the Platte River as it flows through downtown Denver. A grand staircase descends 10 ft. to the river from the viewpoint. The north wall echoes the outline of the Front Range Mountains. Windows cut into the stone frame vistas of the landscape. The stone was cut and fitted on location.

Commissioned by the Gates Family Foundation.
