Please join us on Wednesday, October 25th on site for this wonderful tour of One Paseo Mixed-Use in Carmel Valley! Ian Morris, one of the Partners at member firm GroundLevel Landscape Architecture, will be showing us this beautiful site while discussing the design process.

For this unique property at Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real, the community and the land owner worked together, in conjunction with the City of San Diego, to create a mixed-use heart of the community. GroundLevel has been a partner in design throughout the site planning and design of the all-important streets, plazas, paseos and open spaces. As the project unfolds, there will be 608 residential homes that are incorporated into night time destinations, lifestyle retail and corporate office spaces.

One Paseo embraces sustainability and the opportunity to live-work-play in one place. GroundLevel has developed the designs for streetscapes and pedestrian-friendly public realm outdoor spaces – and also for the people spaces that flow though the retail and office plaza components. One Paseo was one of the first five projects in the country to meet prerequisite review under LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Beginning as a draftsman and a great coffee maker in a residential estate design-build firm in Chicago, Ian learned then that the process of design always starts with one key element – a story. A story provides coherence to an idea and guidance to creating great places. And Ian does love to tell a great story. Through his 20+ years in design, Ian has been fortunate to craft great places, from estate gardens, to resorts, to multi-family housing and mixed-use developments.
