Surfacedesign, Inc.：Expedia集团的公共海滩位于西雅图市中心北部的普吉特海湾边缘沿线四百米范围内。该公园与滨水区附近的项目相连接，让人联想起太平洋西北部的原始海岸景观，并通过艾略特海湾的自行车道与周边社区相连。
Surfacedesign, Inc.：Situated just north of downtown Seattle, the public Beach at Expedia Group follows a quarter mile of the Puget Sound waterfront edge. Tying in with adjacent projects along the waterfront, the park recalls the native coastal landscape of the Pacific Northwest and connects directly to the surrounding communities via the Elliott Bay Bike Trail.
在Expedia集团开发滨水区将其作为科技和研究园区之前，这里大部分的场地已被铺平作为工业用地达数十年之久。场地上稀少的植被并非产自本地，几乎没有再利用价值。相比之下，海滩的种植则完全由本地和适应当地气候的物种组成。除了研究诸如传播、高度、光照和水分需求等定量植物特征外，设计团队还进行了一系列的定性研究，记录了植物的季节性色彩、植物群落的环境效益和植物之间的结构关系。通过精心选择适合场地条件和气候的植物并发展独特的植物模式，该项目为动植物群落提供了栖息地并促进了场地使用者的亲生物性，同时减少了园区的用水量并实现了低成本维护。
Prior to Expedia’s development of the waterfront, much of the existing site was paved over and used for industrial purposes for decades before previously acting as a tech and research campus. The limited planting that was on-site was mostly non-native and provided little wildlife value. In contrast, planting at The Beach is entirely comprised of native and climate-appropriate species. In addition to studying quantitative plant characteristics such as spread, height, sun requirements, and water use, the team did a series of qualitative studies charting seasonal color, wildlife benefits, and textural relationships between plants. Through the careful selection of native and climate-appropriate plants and development of distinct botanic experiences, the planting provides wildlife habitat and encourages biophilia among users of the site while reducing campus water use and requiring minimal maintenance.
砾石海滩和沙丘种植区位于Expedia集团总部园区的西南边缘，沿着普吉特海湾一带分布，该种植区旨在利用本地常见的沿海或沙丘植物的种植来方式来模仿普吉特海湾的特征。65%的种植区混合种植了四种本土草本植物，而其余35%的种植区域则是由粉色、紫色和黄色等色调柔和的本地多年生沙丘植物组成，这些本地多年生植物包括海滩草莓、树胶草、海滨羽扇豆和野生荞麦。回收的巨石和浮木打破了种植区的同时也起到了休闲和游乐的作用，海滩上鹅卵石和岩石铺设的缓坡在沙丘周围蜿蜒曲折，让人想起Ruby海滩和华盛顿州最西部的河口景色。
The Gravel Beach and Dune planting zone is located at the south-western edge of the Expedia Headquarters campus, along the Puget Sound. This planting zone is designed to emulate the character of the Puget Sound by utilizing a planting palette containing mostly native coastal/dune plants. 65% of the planting is comprised of a mix of four native grasses (Carex pansa, Carex vulpinoidea, Deschampsia cespitosa, and Elymus mollis), while the remaining 35% is comprised of native perennial dune plants in soft hues of pink, purple, and yellow. The perennials include native beach strawberry, gumweed, seashore lupine, and wild buckwheat. Reclaimed boulders and driftwood break up the planting while also functioning as informal seating and play areas. A subtle gradient of beach pebbles and river rocks meander around the planted dunes, recalling Ruby Beach and the estuaries of the far western reaches of Washington State.
艾略特湾自行车道和人行道缓缓穿过沙丘的中心，让游客和通勤者都沉浸在自然式的海岸景观中，并将邻近社区与新的、非正式的露天剧场连接起来。在公园的北部边界，景观抬升形成一个台地式的瞭望台，彰显了该地的独特优势，也展现了雷尼尔山、普吉特海湾和西雅图天际线的壮丽景色。
The Elliott Bay Bike and Pedestrian Trail curves gently through the center of the dunes, immersing visitors and commuters alike in the naturalized coastal landscape and connecting the adjacent communities to the new, informal amphitheater. At the northern boundary of the park, the landscape swells to create a terraced overlook that celebrates the site’s unique vantage point, providing breathtaking views of Mount Rainier, the Puget Sound, and the Seattle skyline.
