Streetscape design focuses on creating spaces that are functional, accessible, and enjoyable. Designs are aligned with community development goals to support and enhance the long-term vision of the area. An example of this approach is evident in projects like SALT, a mixed-use development in Oceanside, CA, which incorporates luxury apartments with ground-level retail, a public plaza, and ocean-view recreation, all within walking distance of the pier.

Emphasis is placed on creating pedestrian-friendly environments that encourage exploration and social interaction. Designs focus on promoting healthy lifestyles and fostering a sense of place, whether through parklets, bike lanes, or permeable pavements. The design proposal for The Cascade at East Village exemplifies this, highlighting water management and enhanced transportation options, including a Bus Rapid Transit lane.

Alluvial Design Studios integrates features like green infrastructure, stormwater management systems, and eco-friendly materials into projects. The goal is to create resilient and livable cities. Examples include incorporating slotted curbs for stormwater runoff, curb extensions with rain gardens, and pervious paving for infiltration.

Public engagement is essential to the design process. Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are actively involved to ensure that designs reflect the needs, preferences, and cultural identity of the community. This collaborative approach ensures that projects are well-received.
