The Office Of James Burnett

The Office of James Burnett was the landscape architect for Klyde Warren Park, a freeway deck park created over one of the busiest freeways in Texas. The freeway had severed the City’s two largest cultural districts for many years. Restoring the connection has transformed the city by bridging the gap and creating a new heart of downtown. Acting as a common ground for the surrounding museums and businesses, Klyde Warren Park is a vibrant and well-programmed urban park. The Park has measurably decreased noise and air pollution in the area and increased activity for businesses and cultural institutions. Moreover, real estate and property values surrounding the park have seen a steady increase since its opening. Klyde Warren Park has gracefully reconnected the city and become a treasured part of downtown Dallas.
