North Cottonwood Commons

Blue Line Designs contacted Pikus 3D to develop a family of custom concrete seating elements for North Cottonwood Commons, a major civic park project in Farmington, Utah. The design intent called for multiple sizes of durable concrete seating to be distributed throughout the park, including around the splash pad and surrounding public gathering areas.

Pikus 3D designed and fabricated approximately 13 Bolide concrete seating elements in several sizes and three finish variations. These elements provided permanent, high-performance site furnishings capable of withstanding public use while contributing to the architectural character of the park.

Later in the project schedule, an additional design challenge emerged at the splash pad. The water was intended to move through a branching, river-like path, but too much volume was flowing down one fork. Blue Line Designs contacted Pikus 3D for assistance with a practical field solution.

In response, Pikus 3D proposed a series of custom concrete steppers that would serve two purposes: creating an interactive landscape feature and restricting enough water volume to rebalance the flow. The steppers allowed water to pass through while reducing the excessive flow through the affected branch of the splash pad.

Brent Potter originated the stepper solution and should be credited with solving this water-flow challenge in collaboration with Pikus 3D. The final installation added a playful, architecturally integrated concrete feature while resolving a functional hydraulic issue within the park’s splash pad environment.
