First Capital Realty - Shops of Oakville South - Urban Forest - 2016
January 2016 - Initial Concept - Urban Forest was designed with the intention of being guided by First Capital Realty’s Sustainability Vision of enhancing long-term value by minimizing our impact on the environment and positively affecting the people and the communities in which we live and work. This outdoor nature-like area is alive with a sense of a forest community, of birds and squirrels and shoppers. It is a place to sit and relax and to meet friends.

Amourstone seating is removed from the truck. Each stone is marked with its weigh about 2000 lbs. The front stone is glued to the sidewalk so it does not wobble. The others do not need gluing.
Placements are made according to the slope of the sidewalk and the slope of the top surfaces of the seating.
