waterfront design green walk
Lisa Costich . Landscape Architecture Portfolio
Project Location: Boston, MA
Project Description: The Green Walk celebrates the Ft. Point Channel Waterfront. The
space provides a uniqueness to the existing waterfront through a simple planting pallet
and striking LED design. The design also responds to the recent development fronting
the Boston Children�s Museum.
To further explore the edge, oversized steps to the water wrap the walk of the
eastern portion of the design.
A wide wooden bench wraps the southern side of the walk for users
to enjoy the waterfront.

highlighted at night through LED lighting imbedded within the green walls.

Project Location: East Greenwich, RI
Project Description: The Greene School is a charter high school focused on ecological and sustainable practice. This campus design was developed
by a group of four students in the senior design studio. This design re! ects the importance of self, school, and society, a theme that is integrated
within the physical design as well as curriculum. This California style creates a campus with individual grade buildings as well as grade level outdoor
spaces and several campus wide outdoor learning spaces. Sustainable solutions were integrated throughout the campus with speci" c attention to
parking layout, energy use, building layout, and storm water solutions.
The above image highlights the campus core wrapped around
a subsequent quad space that will be used for ceremonies,
passive recreation and large school wide events. Each building
incorporates a greenhouse, green roof, weather station, and
outdoor classroom.

Individual responsibility
for this project focused on
storm water education.
All storm water on site
was channeled through
bioswales and collected
in large detention ponds
and constructed wetlands.
These areas would be man-
aged and studied by the
Greene School students.
Through this process stu-
dents would be educated
in storm water processes,
plant material, and habitat
conservation.

The housing cluster is comprised of 3 two bedroom units and 4 single bedroom units. The cluster is
oriented such that patios overlook an open space centrally located within the design. A series of trails
link the cluster to other amenities and features around the site. Each condo has two parking stalls
either the exception of the two end units which have one stall and a single car garage. Patios with
privacy walls create an outdoor space for each unit.

The design goal for Webster Commons is to emphasize existing features
and maximize open space. The building clusters are oriented such that
deck and patios are fronting the pond or open space. This borrowed
landscape facilitates grand yards and allows for an internal focus away from
vehicular circulation.

Upon completion of master plans,
individual design concepts were
generated for the train station en-

entrance plaza, and traf" c circulation
through this portion of the site.

memorial medeiros memorial park
Lisa Costich . Landscape Architecture Portfolio
Project Location: Bristol, RI
Project Description: As a capstone project, the task of creating a memorial park for domestic violence was presented. The concept was brought to the town of
Bristol by the Medeiros Family who lost a family member to domestic violence. An existing nine hole golf course was chosen for the site of the Medeiros Memo-
rial Park. As a former wetland, the site consisted of many constraint areas due to high water table and ! ooding. The concept for the design focused on remem-
brance, restoration, and rehabilitation. This concept applied to the sites physical condition as well as the visitors experience.
