Confluence - Landscape Architecture

Katie and Emily were selected to participate in the City of Sioux Falls - Municipal Government Downtown Storm Drain Art Project and spent the weekend painting their mural just down the street from the Sioux Falls office.

Inspired by spotting a goldfish in the Big Sioux River below the Arc of Dreams, their design highlights the beauty of the natural world and reminds us that storm drains lead directly to the river.

We’re proud to see their creativity making an impact in downtown Sioux Falls and helping share an important message about protecting the places we all share.

Monday night was a beautiful evening to celebrate the opening of Morton Amphitheater in Riverside, MO! 🎶✨

Huge thanks to Generator Studio and the incredible team of subconsultants for helping take this project all the way to the finish line. We’re proud to see this new venue officially open this week and welcome guests for its first full concert.

Morton Amphitheater features:
• ~16,000 capacity
• 12,000 covered seats under a canopy + lawn space
• Designed for acoustics, sightlines, and modern amenities

Can’t wait to see the community enjoying live music here all summer long!

Something big is rising at Redwood Park 👀

It’s rare for a concept to be fully realized in built form, but this monumental red Kraken is coming to life in City of Apple Valley, MN. What began as an ambitious vision is now taking shape as a bold, imaginative, and inclusive Playground experience.

In partnership with Landscape Structures Inc./Flagship Recreation and the City of Apple Valley, Confluence is helping redefine what a playground can be, pushing beyond the expected to create something truly one-of-a-kind for the community.

From early renderings to construction in progress, it’s exciting to see this vision become reality. Stay tuned as the Kraken emerges.
