01 TRANSFORMING PUBLIC SPACES Identifying the user experience within urban, public environments drives the design of a site into an e˜ cient and powerful space. These following designs focus on the transformation of small-scale existing urban areas into ° ourishing public spaces.

ATLANTA DAIRIES CHILDREN’S GARDEN The Atlanta Dairies site is a natural oasis founded in the heart of the dense urban environment of Atlanta, Georgia. It once served as a highly industrial loading dock for the dairy factory and has been re-imagined into a unique social hot spot with this inviting green space at its center.

This project is a lively redesign of the Atlanta Dairies site into a children’s garden that establishes a more curvilinear, irregular form throughout the site of which develops an organic, natural feel of exploration for children.

Using the planting beds, planting choices, and rustic site features, the new site design is intended to enhance the play environment for children in a natural setting.

Preliminary master plan distinguising a general planting layout determined by plant type, size, and texture. The plan also shows how the redesigned areas can be modeled within the framework of the existing harscape. The site is intentionally mapped out with a level of ambibuity, working out any previously unnoticed flaws in the design.

ATLANTA DAIRIES CHILDREN’S GARDEN: VEGETATING THE SITE Plant schedule and bloom calender displaying a large variety of plants that express a wide diversity of colors, forms, and textures within the site. Other details of the planting schedule include maintenance and desirable attributes which clarify choice reasonings for the client and give a general labor cost for landscaping upkeep.

This planting design is relatively low maintenance aside from the annual trimming of perennials and trees for best growth in following seasons.

COLLEGE PLAZA This redesign of the bustling downtown Athens area aims to provide a more unique and distinct experience for the Athens community which is acheived through a tall vegeation wall, aesthetically pleasing planting, and thoughtfully planned out paving materials signaling a smooth transition from the UGA campus and other parts of downtown into the site.

This design is composed of radial forms aimed at creating a dynamic relationship between the site’s hardscape and soft scape of which encourages more e˜ cient pedestrian circulation.

02 LIVING IN DESIGN The beauty of residential design lies in intimate and private experiences, carefully articulated spaces, and beautiful, lush planting choices. These following projects demonstrate these principles adapted to single-family residential homes.

SAWYER RESIDENCE The landscape design of the Sawywer Residence backyard re° ects a buzzing and contemporary environment through the sporadic planting placement, contrast in textures, and the energetic and dynamic movement created through its irregular and curvilienar forms.

A high quantity of ornamental grasses and ° owering shrubs are included which reveals a more wild or free character of the site.

HILL STREET HOUSE Along with its pleasing, organic design, this residence also follows zoning regulations, adhereing to both ADA regulations and setbacks. The Hill Street House accurately re° ects the client’s vision, as it includes a covered walkway, intimate spaces, and lush planting.

The design also demonstrates an e˛ ort in stormwater management through its grading that directs the ° ow of water towards the site’s rain garden.

03 CONSERVING A COMMUNITY Conserving natural ecology is imperative for the future of the built environment. These following projects work on large scale sites that perform a critical analysis and inventory in creating a site with pleasing design principles and conservation.

MOSS SIDE NEIGHBORHOOD This design is a residential subdivision composed of both pocket neighborhoods and conventional single-family homes. Through a careful site analysis and inventory, this development aims to balance both the ecological integrity of the site with the human and cultural needs.

This includes providing privacy and a sense of community as well as easy accessibility to green spaces and nature, all of which focuses on yielding a better quality of life for its residents while still conserving the land.

WARE CREEK CROSSINGS Ware Creek Crossings is a pedestrian friendly, mixed use community designed to promote connectivity and conservation throughout the site.

Each hamlet is deÿ ned by a discernable town center for community gathering and recreation, establishing a social identity to each neighborhood. From this center, the communities transition and progress seamlessly from higher to lower density development. The higher density being mixed use buildings, o˜ ces, commercial, and civil buildings. The lower density areas are then assigned to housing – integrating both a˛ ordable and higher end housing in order to encourage a mixed income environment and diversiÿ ed human interaction.

North of the neighborhood development is the York River Resort with luxury, cottage vacation homes, from which guests are at a walkable distance to the resort’s waterfront restaurants. The resort also includes a high-end retail and recreation area o˛ ering a variety of shops and dining, a hotel, a movie theater, as well as an amphitheater.
