Melissa City Hall Plaza<br />
MELISSA, TX
The City Hall of a community plays an important role<br />
in establishing its character. Complimenting that<br />
character with civic space is equally important. This<br />
multi-function 3.4 acre space is on the west side of<br />
City Hall in downtown Melissa. It includes both active<br />
and passive functional spaces to serve the citizens of<br />
the community. A splash fountain is the centerpiece<br />
of the space with a pavilion and veterans memorial<br />
anchoring each end. The central ellipse serves as a<br />
concert and festival space, with the outer ring being<br />
used as access for a community Farmers Market.<br />
The Melissa City Hall Plaza and Park has something<br />
for every member of the community as it continues to<br />
grow and prosper for years to come.<br />

BUSH CENTRAL BARKWAY<br />
RICHARDSON, TX<br />
TRAPS<br />
North Region<br />
Excellence in<br />
Design Category<br />
Award<br />
Winner
At the intersection of President<br />
George Bush Turnpike and Central<br />
Expressway, through coordination<br />
with both TxDOT and Oncor, the<br />
City of Richardson created a dog<br />
park on otherwise unusable land.<br />
Pacheco Koch was able to help<br />
the community take advantage of<br />
this large, partially shaded site to<br />
provide a paddock dog park that<br />
is as popular with the dogs as it is<br />
with their owners.<br />
Completed projects
FOREST HILL MEMORIAL PARK<br />
FOREST HILL, TX
Pacheco Koch was selected by the City of Forest<br />
Hill to work with their selected contractor in<br />
designing and constructing a memorial park<br />
dedicated to community members that have<br />
served or are currently serving in the Armed<br />
Services or as Public Safety Officers.<br />
Each service branch has its own memorial with<br />
its service emblem, service flag and the engraved<br />
names of the honorees. Two specific monuments<br />
are dedicated to fallen public safety officers from<br />
Forest Hill and for MIA/POW military personnel.<br />
The result is a statement of the high quality design<br />
and construction that can be accomplished with<br />
very tight budget constraints.<br />
Completed projects
DALLAS LDS TEMPLE<br />
DALLAS, TX
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day<br />
Saints (LDS) Dallas Temple is a regional<br />
worship facility for important rites<br />
and ordinances apart from Sunday<br />
services. After 30 years without a<br />
major site remodel, Pacheco Koch was<br />
selected as the landscape architect to<br />
re-design the entire site from building<br />
face to property lines. As a destination<br />
for hundreds of weddings a year,<br />
the site was designed with multiple<br />
camera-friendly courtyards and vistas<br />
appropriate for the brides and their<br />
wedding parties. The design includes<br />
four courtyards and one major plaza<br />
featuring a multi-tiered water feature<br />
and extensive ornamental lighting.<br />
The landscape is lush by design, with<br />
frequently rotated annual flower<br />
arrangements to act as backdrops for<br />
photography. Extra care was taken<br />
to preserve large, mature live oaks<br />
throughout the site. Entry points to<br />
the site were redesigned to allow more<br />
visibility from the street and more open<br />
access to maintain needed security.<br />
The result is a quiet, pleasant garden<br />
setting for the Temple’s patrons.<br />

KUBOTA HEADQUARTERS<br />
GRAPEVINE, TX
Pacheco Koch provided full service<br />
landscape architectural and<br />
construction administration services for<br />
the new North American headquarters<br />
of the Kubota Tractor Corporation.<br />
The project was a unique opportunity<br />
to balance the client’s aesthetic,<br />
programmatic and environmental<br />
goals with a challenging site and a<br />
complex architectural design. Stone<br />
retaining walls frame preservation areas<br />
along the entry drive, terminating at a<br />
paver court. The dynamic architecture<br />
unexpectedly integrates into a diverse<br />
landscape of stone, water and native<br />
plants. A shallow water feature at<br />
the entry court flows beneath a glass<br />
corridor into a shaded, high-walled<br />
courtyard, transforming a linear canal<br />
to a curving stream as it flows out<br />
across the site. The courtyard, patio<br />
spaces and a rooftop terrace provide<br />
both refuge and expansive views<br />
of native planting areas, arrayed to<br />
evoke Kubota’s agricultural heritage.<br />
Rainwater harvesting fully provides<br />
for on-site irrigation needs, helping to<br />
fulfill the client’s goal of a measurably<br />
sustainable landscape.<br />

Melissa 100-acre sports park<br />
MELISSA, TX
Working with various community stakeholders, the design<br />
team developed the programming and design for this 100<br />
acre sports park. Phase 1 is anchored by an artificial turf<br />
five-plex baseball/softball facility with four soccer fields.<br />
A stormwater pond provides irrigation for the park and<br />
community fishing opportunities.<br />
While being implemented in phases, at complete buildout<br />
the park will provide play and practice facilities for<br />
all of the Melissa youth sports organizations. The facilities<br />
include lit practice and play fields for soccer and football, a<br />
baseball five-plex, a baseball four-plex and a softball fourplex.<br />
Other uses, such as trails, an amphitheater and frisbee<br />
golf, will provide additional recreational opportunities.<br />

Toyota headquarters<br />
PLANO, TX
The Toyota headquarters sits on<br />
a 100-acre corporate campus in<br />
northwest Plano. The site was<br />
designed to create a variety of<br />
spaces for passive and active<br />
endeavors to serve the campus<br />
employees. The campus core<br />
features multiple courtyards<br />
for dining, events and vehicle<br />
displays. Water features animate<br />
outdoor terraces at two different<br />
levels and open turf areas allow<br />
for spontaneous or organized<br />
recreation. Health and wellness<br />
is encouraged through a<br />
network of concrete sidewalks<br />
and decomposed granite trails<br />
weaving throughout the campus<br />
for walking and running. 25 acres<br />
of native grasses and wildflowers<br />
and drought tolerant native<br />
plantings have been used on site<br />
to reduce the amount of irrigated<br />
turf. Storm water runoff from the<br />
parking garages is being captured<br />
in 40 large cisterns and used to<br />
irrigate the site.<br />

Timbers nature preserve<br />
MURPHY, TX
The early phase of the project consisted of grant<br />
funding acquisition for the park and to accommodate<br />
City funding constraints. This phase of work included<br />
conceptual design based on available existing data and<br />
input from the community. A series of public meetings<br />
were conducted to present options and obtain input<br />
from the community, Parks Board and City Council.<br />
Final plans for this $2.4 million dollar project included<br />
nearly a mile of 14-foot multi-city hike and bike<br />
trails, a mile of soft surface nature trails, fishing piers,<br />
restroom facilities, practice ball fields, ADA upgrades<br />
to playground and picnic facilities, stream restoration,<br />
pavilions and fire pits/barbecue facilities.<br />

Ross tower<br />
DALLAS, TX<br />
A Class-A building that towers over Ross Avenue and has spectacular views of Klyde Warren Park deserves a<br />
Class-A landscape design to welcome its employees and visitors. Constructed of mahogany, granite and brass<br />
fixtures, the building has an elegant charm that defines the identity of the Dallas Skyline. Pacheco Koch provided<br />
an urban design that maintains the elegant charm of the existing tower while reinvigorating the building’s<br />
primary entry.
Elm fork greenbelt<br />
DALLAS, TX<br />
Pacheco Koch was selected by the prime design firm to provide rendering and modeling services for the<br />
Elm Fork Master Plan. The landscape architects developed site plans, renderings and a 12 minute three<br />
dimensional fly-through video to use in both the public meeting process and in seeking funding for the<br />
construction of the project. In addition to the fly-through, a brochure was developed highlighting the<br />
main features and amenities of the project to be used in fund raising efforts.<br />

Irving hotel<br />
IRVING, TX<br />
As a primary structure within a mixed-use district, the future Westin Hotel an occupies ideal location between<br />
the Irving Convention Center and the Irving Music Factory. This position between two major destinations has<br />
opportunities to bridge and connect the urban space between the two. As a leading hotel chain, Westin hotel<br />
encourages environmental sustainability and green building initiatives. The exterior landscape design goes<br />
beyond meeting the hotel standards. The landscape and exterior hardscape design effortlessly blends the two<br />
bordering properties, while providing an elegant landscape design that enhances the fine dining experience<br />
and overnight stay of its patrons.
The hill<br />
DALLAS, TX<br />
The Hill is a 16-acre shopping center on a high-profile site in North Dallas. The aging center is getting<br />
a modern and eclectic makeover that reinvigorates the 70’s style facility. Phase I of the project is<br />
transforming the auto heavy center into a walkable place with a lush native landscape and pockets<br />
of amenities for restaurants and businesses. With tenants like Treehouse coming into the project, the<br />
landscape feeds off the eco-friendly home improvement store by using native grasses, shrubs and trees,<br />
rain water collection and water efficient irrigation.<br />

FAIRVIEW, TX<br />
Projects in design<br />
This Fairview, Texas estate lot development is tucked into existing farm land along a stream. The team<br />

development in a rural style befitting the surroundings.
