Purple Heart Plaza
- Henderson, Nevada
- September 2018
Project Background
In a private/public partnership with the Military Order of the Purple Heart, the City of Henderson underwent a downtown redevelopment project of the area known as “The Water Street District.” Within this redevelopment, project stakeholders were in search of a long-lasting public space that memorialized those who have earned the Purple Heart Medal.
Approach
Parasoleil incorporated the symbolism and unique history of the MOPH in and around the plaza with the design of the shade and railing structures. Special permission was granted by the US Military for use of the Purple Heart logo, which was laser cut into the screen panels.
