Nuszer Kopatz was retained to visualize the transformation of the corner of 10th Avenue and Speer Boulevard. Previously, the site held many opportunites to create a welcoming entrance into the Golden Triangle neighborhood, but was severly underutilized as an empty expanse of grass. The design team created several 3-D models to show how the space could better serve the community at large. Paving patterns, water features, sculpture and public art, and hardscape and softscape elements were added to add to the community’s character and charm.

NUSZER KOPATZ urban design associates
of downtown, providing continuity along the street as well as creating a distinct identity for downtown Billings. The “Skypoint” tensile structure spanning an entire intersection serves as an icon for downtown Billings as well as the central gathering place for concerts, festivals, and markets. Curb “bump-outs”, decorative crosswalks, twinkle lighting, signature plantings and custom street furnishings improve the pedestrian experience and also help calm traffic. The project utilized
local artists who
fabricated custom benches, bike racks, tree grates, tree guards, bollards and trash receptacles, as well as integrated the the “Horses, Of Course” Public Art Program. Signage and wayfinding elements include event banners, movable kiosks and permanent informational directories. New urban features within the City of Billings included outdoor restaurant patios, and diagonal parking to maximize parking capacity.
