    LAWRENCE LIVERMORE SUSTAINABILITY MASTER PLAN

    2011 Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, client Bruce Jett Associates, employer

    A conceptual landscape plan to identify and unify distinct sectors of this major research campus. With an in-depth study of current open space usage, the plan proposes ecologically conscious strategies to guide future decisions.

    Among the proposed solutions are establishing comprehensive land-scape typologies, incorporating water cleansing elements into road corridors, integrating rainwater treatment zones into current intensive landscapes, and seeding underutilized spaces.

  • WITTENBERG MANOR SENIOR CENTER REHAB2010-11 Wittenberg Manor, client John Nicol & Associates, employer

    As project manager for this senior citizen center rehabilitation, I worked closely with the client to develop the project from preliminary design through construction documentation.

    A 40-year old landscape is given a highly detailed revitalization, to the benefit of its elderly populace. Intricate grading and extensive planting meet new California codes for on-site water treatment while offering a stunning series of favorite flower collections and a series of vegetable plots for residents.

  • RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE PLANS2010-11

    Responsibilities ranging from conceptual design to planting and detailing on a range of model homes and singe-family residential properties.

    Each design seeks to maximize space while providing several outdoor living areas. Native plant palettes are used throughout, whether loose additions to flagstone walks or formal lines of ornamental trees.

  • SD EAST URBAN DESIGN PLAN2010 Don Xu, Jung Cho, Sungoo Bae, Travis Vedder, partnersFirst Plan Team, Cogburn Family Prize

    The 2010 ULI Competition challenges our team to reintegrate the East Village into the heart of downtown San Diego. Lost among its neighboring districts -- historic Lamplight, Balboa Park, the bay region -- this proposal creates a local identity to draw visitors and residents alike to the site.

    To this end, the two primary open space strategies include a linear outdoor market along the central trolly corridor, and a programmed central park. A phased building approach, mobilized by new educational facilities, exhibits a calculated sensitivity to uncertain economic times.

  • REPUBLIC SQUARE DOWNTOWN2008 Jason Sowell, critic

    An exploration of material transitions across concrete, decking, and vegetation, this one-acre site accommodates fluctuating pedestrian traffic in Austins downtown. Dimensions consciously accommodate farmers markets, staged concerts, festivals, fitness events, and an rotating sculpture exhibition.

    Each component of this complete construction document set abides by a unifying aesthetic that memorializes three historic oak trees once located on site. The architectonic groundplane and original shade structure articulate this metaphor most clearly.

  • NEW ORLEANS SIDEWALK INSERTION2010 Coleman Coker, critic

    At once a living art installation and landscape beautification effort. Tagetes pagula (Marigold) seeds, which grow at the head of blooming flowers, track the citys pedestrian traffic to key areas before populating in modified city grates.

    A scaled concrete and steel construction, measuring 6x3 and over two hundred pounds, tests the ecological strategy and offers valuable hands-on construction experience.

  • SLOW FOODS RESTAURANT AND ARTISTS LOFTS2010 Coleman Coker, critic

    As the sole landscape student in this architecture studio, my effort to create a seamlessly interrelated building and landscape becomes a multi-use park space in the heart of New Orleans. The site integrates a heavy structural presence of a lofted building supporting a system for hydroponic vegetables.

    A triangulated groundplane responds to the citys fractured hardscape topography and creates facets of space with varying degrees of public exposure.

  • SITE COMPONENTS

    The backyard is a place for movement, interaction, and engagement with Austins vernacular beauty: its music, its land, and its people.

    Moving elements in a city, and in particular the people and their activities, are as important as the stationary physical parts. We are not simply observers of this spectacle, but are ourselves a part of it, on the stage with the other participants. Kevin Lynch

    THE [NEW] BACKYARD MUSIC VENUE

    2009 Erika Huddleston, partner

    A schematic proposal with a lighthearted approach for the relocation of one of Austins most beloved music institutions. With the likes of Willie Nelson as its legacy, this three-week competition entry embraces Austins idiosyncratic/Texas tone.

    Oversized wayfinding signage of an Old West-style font distinctly characterizes visitors progression through the site. An undulating decking surface wraps around the outer border of the seating area; its upper level providing admissions programming, its lower, concessions at the audience level.
