Having been interested in art for as long as I can remember, I have always had an eye for design and aesthetics. It always interested me how a simple thought in the mind, with hard work, could be translated into the real world. Coming into college, I was intent on finding a career that brought out those aspects of myself; something that blends art with functionality. Surprisingly, it was actually architecture that caught my eye at first. When looking at a site, it was always the buildings that stood out to me, while the surrounding landscape remained in the background unnoticed. Landscape architecture didn’t become known to me until I came to the University of Georgia.

It is often said that humans have an innate connection to nature and the surrounding environment. Being from an urban area, where day in and day out almost everything you see is hardscape, I find this statement to be 100% accurate. Unlike a lot of people in the field of landscape architecture who may have been raised in rural areas or areas with dense forestry, there weren’t many chances for me to be exposed to any sort of greenery. However, whenever I did get a chance to experience the natural environment, it was like a breath of fresh air. Being in UGA’s landscape architecture program has allowed me to form a deeper appreciation for the world around me. As a future landscape architect, I feel that it is my duty to spread that appreciation to others and to close the increasingly expanding gap between humans and nature. I want to create timeless spaces that people enjoy generations down the line.

JAYLAN HOLMAN I am a motivated third year student seeking to obtain a landscape architecture internship position for the Summer of 2020 that will provide the opportunity to earn a great deal of experience with clients, add onto/improve skills that I already possess, and continue gaining knowledge of the field of landscape architecture as a whole.

Infill Housing- Alby Estate The project focuses in the redevelopment of a vacant parcel of land on the outskirts of downtown Athens, Georgia. The Alby Estate creates a unique look; using vibrant native vegetation in contrast with such a traditional style of architecture, the overall project generates a harmonious feeling. The estate will include many spacious outdoor areas, including a courtyard and overlook patio fitted with a fire pit, along with ample seating to fit family and friends. Located on the northernmost part of the site lies a meditation garden, an enclosed, private space that allows the user to completely unwind.

Site Features This site features a courtyard surrounded by a stone retaining wall where residents can gather for socializing. The overlook patio, located at the highest part of the site provides a great view of the estate with a warm fire, acting as the perfect centerpiece for social occasions. The meditation garden is an enclosed oasis of lush native vegetation that gives the user a deeper connection to nature and allows them to completely unwind and get away from the outside world.

Conservation Development The Winslow at Moss Side is a conservation neighborhood that provides a number of open spaces and amenities for its residents while still preserving and maintaining much of the old growth vegetation and natural features already present in Moss Side.

Included in this large expanse of land are six pocket communities, each with eight houses with attached garages, a community house, and a large open field free to be used by all residents. A key feature of this community is its proximity to the large lake located on the southwestern side of the site. This lake is surrounded by lush, mature vegetation as well as a nature trail that is easily accessible to all residents of the Winslow.

Site Inventory & Analysis

Soil Inventory

Moss Side inventory map showing the soil types present on site ranging from moderately eroded to severely eroded. There are roughly eight different types of soil on the site.

Scale: 1�=100’

Slope Inventory Moss Side inventory map showing changes in slope on the site. Slopes within Moss Side vary from a gentle 0-4 percent slope to a severe 15 percent and up.

Vegetation Inventory

Moss Side inventory map showing the existing vegetation on site. Since the focus of this design was to keep as much old growth as intact as possible, it was important to indicate which areas on the site limit development.

Limitations range from slightly limited (open areas and invasives), moderately limited (pines and young hardwoods), and severely limited (mature hardwoods).

Westpointe of Athens The Westpointe of Athens aims to completely revitalize the Georgia Square Mall site, turning what is now a rundown, 1970s era mall into an active, mixed-use community loaded with many commercial and residential options which all work in unison to emphasize the idea of “live, work, play�. With a primary entrance along Atlanta Highway as well as secondary entrances along Huntington Road and Mall Access Road, the front of the community will serve as the hotspot of Westpointe fit with office spaces, restaurants, retail and other amenities, including an open community park where residents and visitor alike can relax. Further into the site, Westpointe becomes more residential, being able to accommodate a number of family sizes and income levels ranging from an individual to a large family. The Westpointe is heavily influenced by walkability.

By strategically organizing the commercial, residential, and entertainment aspects of the community, residents and visitors will be able to freely and comfortably move throughout the space without the congestion of the streets.
