The award-winning Water Garden Office Park was designed by landscape architect Richard "Dick" Bell, who operated his business at the site from 1955 until his retirement in 2007. Gil Stose specializes in photography for architects, developers, magazines, advertisers, and corporations. He was contracted by the NCSU Libraries in 2007 to photographically document the Water Garden before the property was redeveloped.
