Aqua Foro caps an existing four level parking garage in Northern Liberties with a new elevated recreation and wellness landscape that serves the adjacent Piazza Alta mixed use development. The project is an unexpected and ethereal amenity garden that promotes healthy urban living and maximizes opportunities for outdoor activity and connection to the natural environment. A celebration of water and wellness, Aqua Foro evokes the visceral monumentality of an ancient ruin with resolutely contemporary forms.
