Recognized for its sustainable design and sensitivity to the desert habitat within the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, Scottsdale’s Lost Dog Wash Trailhead was recently awarded the top Honor Award by the American Institute of Architects, Western Mountain Region.
The trailhead’s building and parking area have been designed to blend in with the surrounding desert preserve and incorporate green building techniques. These include photovoltaic cells that provide electricity, and grey water and rainwater harvesting that produce nearly 75,000 gallons of water annually for landscape irrigation. In addition, special attention has been paid to salvage and relocate native vegetation to other areas of disturbance within the preserve.
