Hershberger Design

Artist Point

Mark Hershberger led the design team that included Carney Architects in the competition winning submission for the design and redevelopment of historic Artist Point in Yellowstone National Park. Artist Point is one of the most visited sites in Yellowstone and has experienced significant degradation from overuse and poor circulation. The proposed plan protects the historically significant quality and character of the site while providing controlled circulation, viewing and interpretive spaces and stabilization and reclamation of eroded areas. Bus and automobile access, drop-off and parking are important elements of the project scope, and include phasing plans that would reduce parking with the future implementation of a park-wide transit solution.

This work was completed by Mark Hershberger during tenure at Design Workshop, Inc.

Parks are passive and active, mutli-seasonal and flexible in function. Simplicity and environmental stewardship are principal elements of enduring parks projects.

Ranches are complex in how they operate through the seasons. The land, and operations, read strong in every well functioning, beautiful ranch.

Every site provides opportunities for house placement, orientation and access at any scale. The exterior should interact with the interior, and outdoor space is best defined with existing elements.

Communities are diverse requiring unique responses to every project.

The natural environment is the draw for most resort communities. Connecting visitors and residence to the environment is central in the resort experience.
