This project incorporates practicality for cold climate with artistry and urban appeal.  A hydronic heating system embedded in the sand layer beneath patterned concrete pavers provides snow melt in this high foot traffic area, allowing for year-round activity.  Along the sidewalk, a system of enforced fabric awnings partially shields passersby from above in all seasons.

Additionally, the F Street Connectivity establishes an integral passage from the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center and the Linny Pacillo Parking Garage to City Hall and the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts through to the William A. Egan Civic and Convention Center, linking these important and vital civic destinations.
