Hillside Fellowship San Antonio, TX
Client: Hillside Fellowship
Project Team: Studio8 Architects, Colliers Engineering, Metropolitan Contracting
Coral Studio was brought into the masterplan expansion project at Hillside Fellowship to create an outdoor setting for community gatherings and church events. Overcoming ADA accessibility challenges posed by the significant 25-foot grade change between the lower and upper buildings, our team leveraged this elevation change to incorporate multi-level programming options, such as an amphitheater and a multi-level playground. The landscape design embraces the natural character of the hill country with native plantings while featuring amenities like a multi-purpose lawn, amphitheater, sports courts, and lounge areas. Incorporating the natural environment into the new programming ensured the preservation of existing trees and preserved shade canopy for comfortable use of the space throughout the day.
