Case Study

For site furnishings at the Presidio Tunnel Tops, Field Operations designed sculpted benches made from a 40,000lb, 90ft Monterey Cypress tree that had fallen at the old Army base during a winter storm, but had not been recovered. The logs were milled an hour north and brought back to the city for curing and assembly, then installed at the new park. From tree to bench, total transport was only 100 miles, or less than three hours driving time.
