Cypress Gardens was affected by the historical floods of October 2015. This disaster has left the Gardens in a position where renovation and updates are necessary. A three phase plan has been suggested to re-open the Gardens. In order to efficiently develop a proper phasing sequence and priority of projects, a Vision and Master Plan will need to be developed.
As part of the project we worked with the County Stakeholders provided a Vision and Master Plan for Cypress Gardens in Moncks Corner. This included a series of on-site meetings, visual exploration and documentation of the site and existing conditions. At the conclusion of the 2-day event, the group had a very clear and concise vision of the project and how a new Cypress Gardens could be realized. The hand-drawn sketch (to the right) was a result of the exercise.
The final deliverable was to create a computer three-dimensional rendering of the main grounds. This rendering is to be used as a tool to market the project to local municipal leaders, staff, citizens and potential corporate donors.
This Master plan focuses the use of Cypress Gardens to an Educational and Nature Center. A center piece in the public properties within Berkeley County, a place for local and out of town visitors.
