Wimmer Yamada and Caughey (WYAC) landscape architects provided the landscape and site design for the new development called “The Headquarters” on San Diego’s bayfront, based on the original master-plan design developed by Owen Lang and Sasaki Design.
The historic character of the original San Diego Police Headquarters, built in 1939, is a paramount focus of the landscape and hardscape design throughout the project. The overall landscape theme is derived from California landscapes of the 1930s.
