This 10-acre park was designed for the City of Poway to coincide with the character of the “Old Poway Park.” FPBA designed the public amenities around old growth trees to achieve a rustic style. The park includes a Snack Shack building, a 2,400-square-foot-facility located in the flood plane of Aubrey Park, and four ball fields with backstops and dugouts for the Poway Girls Softball League. Site amenities include play structures, jogging trails and foot paths as well as public parking.
The City of Poway wanted to consolidate its existing operations and expand the capacity of the City Council Chambers and City Offices. FPBA worked with the City to determine a municipal building size that met its present and long-term needs. The Poway City Offices were designed to centrally locate all public interaction with City departments around the main two-story entry lobby and feature stair. FPBA created a sustainable design that offers a interactive environment for the community and its elected officials. The FPBA team expanded the capacity of the City Council Chambers by designing a facility able to accommodate both civic and private functions. FPBA was able to consolidate the City of Poway public service departments while maintaining City operations during a phased construction.
Murrieta’s 34,000-square-foot City Hall was designed by FPBA in the City’s new town square, which shares common pedestrian space with the library, police station, senior center and amphitheater pavilion. It brings a welcoming environment for the city administration and elected officials to interact with the citizens of Murrieta. The iconic Clock Tower and craftsman-style design incorporates a modern tilt-up building with the quality and scale appropriate for the site and the immediate adjacent architecture. The new City Hall consists of two-story office space, a 130-seat city council chamber, public meeting spaces and a public services counter.
