Tom Leader Studio RiverFirst Awarded by:<br />

Tom Leader Studio, in conjunction with KVA architects, spearheaded the winning<br />
master plan proposal for RiverFirst, the Minneapolis Riverfront Redevelopment.<br />
<strong>Phase</strong> 1 is underway. It includes transport<strong>at</strong>ion and trail planning and the design and<br />
construction of two flagship parks.<br />
The topographical design proposal reconnects historic Farview Park with the River<br />
and the River City Innov<strong>at</strong>ion District. Moments of vertical separ<strong>at</strong>ion allow park,<br />
navig<strong>at</strong>ion, and industry to coexist. Riverbank topography organizes the remedi<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
design of municipal storm w<strong>at</strong>er and cre<strong>at</strong>es a public park which provides the city<br />
with flood mitig<strong>at</strong>ion and bio-filtr<strong>at</strong>ion eco-services. As a source of public enjoyment<br />
and educ<strong>at</strong>ion, the RiverFirst Park shapes new ways for people to engage, recre<strong>at</strong>e<br />
and socialize along the river.
