Kadampa Meditation Center Garden

 

Project location: Baltimore, MD

Problem: Baltimore’s Kadampa Meditation Center is located in the urban Chinquapin Park neighborhood.  In addition to the Buddhist temple, the Center also houses a café, bookshop, and now, a World Peace Meditation garden.  Previously, the Center’s campus had been experiencing drainage issues, with runoff from the facility’s large roof and parking lot unable to adequately drain, due to poor site grading and existing soil conditions.

Berlin West Street Retrofit

 

Project location: Berlin, MD
