Greater Atlanta Metropolitan Area, GA. The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) is one of the National Park sites chosen to partner with the Van Alen Institute of New York for a national design competition called Parks for the People. The competition goal was to “reimagine America’s National Parks.” Our team chose the CRNRA site north of Atlanta, GA because it was a challenge: fragmented, diverse, unfamiliar geology and a complicated urban environment across multiple counties and municipalities. For my angle on the project I chose to investigate the site from the perspective of urban ecology and the relationship of the community to the health of the river.

BIG CREEK
This 2.5 acre site is part of the Vickery Creek parcel of the CRNRA. It serves as a demonstration site for a systematic monitoring and feedback program to be integrated into the CRNRA. It is located at the confluence of the Chattahoochee River and the Big Creek Watershed, the largest subcatchment of the Upper Chattahoochee. It also has opportunities to engage a large number of visitors and the local community, to test and treat water from an on site wastewater treatment facility and improve water quality and provide habitat through floodplain reconnection. The design, the Watershed Exploration Park, engages the public by making the watershed visible and interactive.

Pembroke Pines, FL. My first experience with planting design in Florida. The homeowner uses a wheelchair, and the property which has a beautiful lake view is currently under-utilized. Goals for this project were to create a shaded gathering space for parties and barbecue, to have wheelchair accessible paths to be closer to the water, and to create a space with a rich subtropical feel. The design makes a strong use of the variety of textures and colors available in South Florida’s growing environment while including a significant portion of native vegetation. 2’ x 2’ travertine pavers are specified for the patios and the CoolDeck at the south edge of the pool has been extended for safety.

Dryden, NY. My colleague, Kim Wilczak and I took this design project on after graduation; all aspects of the design are collaborative except the arbor. The homeowners were new to Upstate New York and had just purchased the property. They wanted to employ professional design but had a very limited budget. We worked within their means to design a gathering space in front of the modest sized home, a hardscape patio and firepit, and to create a transition from the front to the back which also allowed maintenance access. Stairs on the north side are framed by a thick planting of Hosta and Ostrich Fern. Predominantly native plants were selected for color and year-round interest at the client’s request.

Kingston, RI. The Native Plant Site Solutions book has been through many incarnations. It was originally developed through a partnership between the University of Rhode Island Outreach Center and the RI Coastal Resources Management Council as a way to address coastal buffer management for homeowners on Narragansett Bay. The plant systems were designed to be native, salt-tolerant, and adaptable for a range of conditions found in the coastal environment of Rhode Island. The work helped me to become intimately familiar with the native coastal vegetation of the Northeast, understand coastal policy and gave me freedom to explore hand graphic illustration.
Warwick, RI. With over 400 miles of coastline, maintaining the health of the coastal waters and the shoreline habitat is essential to residents, businesses and visitors in Rhode Island. Coastal buffers act as critical wildlife habitat, slow stormwater runoff and filter pollutants, and help to slow shoreline erosion. The goals of this buffer restoration program are to provide ecological function while maintaining pleasant aesthetics. For a homeowner in Warwick, expansions in their home’s footprint triggered expanded buffer requirements (above). Along Warwick Neck Road (below) a narrow and extremely tough-on-plants site is the subject of ongoing buffer experimentation for which I designed an iteration.

Jefferson City, MO. The Roseheart Center is a spiritual and education facility for young children. At its opening they commissioned a design contest to envision a progressive play and learning space. In keeping with the mission of the Roseheart Center this design incorporates the experiential landscape as a learning tool and the use of open ended play and unstructured play as important developmental learning experiences. The whole of the design is based on spirals and circles and sacred geometry relationships. Wind is an ever-present natural resource on the edge of the prairie, and wind sculptures by Lyman Whitaker transform the force of the wind into beautiful movement.

Design elements were intended to be naturalistic and reflect elements of the Missouri environment. The spiral mound references the Native American mounds found in the area. The Roseheart Center is a working facility with ongoing work by staff and children to build interactive educational features on the property.
Bristol, RI. This memorial and park seeks to bring awareness of domestic violence in the community of Bristol, Rhode Island. It is the responsibility of the designer to translate the unspoken needs of those who have been affected by domestic violence, to tell their story, and to bring into the light a subject often shrouded by shame, misunderstanding, or ignorance. The land where the park is located was once the commons of the Bristol settlement; the park is a community space. The parcel today is surrounded by Bristol’s industry. Restoration of the heavily modified wetlands and establishing a habitat corridor figure strongly into the design and theme of healing throughout the site.

West Greenwich, RI. A team design to site and envision an environmentally focused charter high school at the W. Alton Jones campus of the University of Rhode Island. Understanding the opportunities and constraints and context of 1600 acre site was made possible using the rich information of the Rhode Island GIS database. I was the GIS lead for the project. As a green construction project, solar aspect, wind potential, indoor-outdoor classrooms and resource reuse as integrated educational elements were essential to the building architecture. Site proposals were turned over to the stakeholders and an architectural team used the information for future campus plans. Currently under construction.

Sorrento, Italy. This design symposium was hosted in Castellammare Italy, home to several ancient Roman villas, and a city aspiring to host an archeological park to be the central tourist destination for the region. The Sorrento villa site, speculated to be the home of Pollio Felice, is unlike many of the more preserved sites in the plain around Mount Vesuvius. The site has been exposed to the sea for nearly 200 years and it is a local resource. The site challenges are getting tourists to find the villa location, access the site, and to tease out the form and purpose of the original structure. Design elements serve to interpret and frame its rustic, relic beauty while preserving the rustic character of the site.

1. The approach to the site is a long linear and channelized corridor with corresponding linear views. Bends conceal what is around the next corner.
2. At the threshold of the site the channel breaks down, the walls transition to more open views. Paving pattern changes show locations of historic walls.
3. The visitor walks out onto a chestnut wood deck and is afforded their first view of Mount Vesuvius to the northeast, a powerful wayfinding landmark. The deck allows unimpeded movement flow for those passing behind.
4. A shorter channelized walk bordered on one side by a 5 to 7 meter wall and the other by dense vegetation opens at last to a view of the villa proper.
5. An elevated platform on axis with the walk encompasses an expansive view out to the villa, down to the cove, and back to the beautiful coastline of the Bay of Naples and the mountains of the Sorrento Peninsula.
6. Through paving patterns and construction of columns and rebuilding the Olive Grove wall a new visitor entrance to the site is created.
7. Once in the grove the visitor experiences another channelized path, moving out towards the edge of the grove wall and the blue of the horizon.
8. At the top of the wall and edge of the olive grove the design motif of the columns is repeated. Expansive views allow the visitor to look across to the Villa of Pollio Felix. Here is also constructed an interpretive signage panel which will be sheltered from the biting sea. The visitor can take in the whole of the Villa and its history and then leave the grove to experience it on foot.
9. Deck construction on site will be accomplished using the local Chestnut (Castagni), and where possible using local craftspersons. It is a low-cost local material and when combined with good construction and design detail it will complement the vernacular use of this same material while standing out as artfully crafted. Additionally, it is easy to replace, resistant to the ocean’s weathering, and non-permanent in the event of further archaeological investigation on the site.

Working with both architects and archaeologists initial design inspirations were heavily influenced by abstractions of place, architecture, and of archaeological exploration processes. The site is also unique in that it has a historical text, by Statius which was likely written about this place during its height providing contemporary inspiration from its strong visual imagery.
