CALDWELL CORRIDOR DESIGN

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO REDESIGN THE CORRIDOR FOR A SECTION OF THE UNIVERISTY OF GEORGIA’S CAMPUS TO ADD GREEN SPACE AND FOCUS ON PLANT DESIGN.

THERE IS A SIGNIFCANT CHANGE IN ELEVATION ON SITE SO I ADDED A WATER FEATURE THAT FOLLOWED THE SLOPE AND ADDED A BRIDGE FOR ACCESSABILITY.

RESORT STYLE POOL

THIS POOL WAS INFLUENCED BY THE CITY OF BEAUFORT, N.C. BEAUFORT’S COUNTRYSIDE IS CHARACTERIZED BY FARMS AND CROSSROAD COMMUNITIES, PUNCTUATED BY LUXURIOUS PLANTATION HOMES WHICH INFLUENCED THE BAR AND GRILL LOCATED IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER. THE BOUNTIFUL WATERS OF THE ABEMARLE SOUND AND RIVERS ARE PRISTINE AND INVITING TO BOATERS AND FISHERMAN.

I TRIED TO CAPTURE THE LAID BACK CULTURE OF THE FISHING CITY TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY CAN RELAX. THERE ARE 2 SPAS AND 2 POOLS. THE ONE SPA FLOWS OVER AN INFINITY EDGE INTO THE POOL AND THE POOL FLOWS OVER AN INFINITY EDGE INTO 2 CATCH BASINS NEXT TO THE LOWER SPA.

PLUMMER RESIDENCE PLANTING DESIGN

THIS PROJECT WAS A RE-RENDERING OF AN EXISITING PLAN. I CREATED THE PLANT SYMBOL ENTOURAGE.

THIS POCKET PARK SITE WAS A PARKING LOT IN DOWNTOWN ATHENS, GEORGIA. THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT WAS TO REINSTATE MORE GREEN SPACE IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA. ATHENS IS A BIG MUSIC CITY, I PUT A SMALL STAGE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE AREA. AN EXISTING WALL OF THE ADJACENT BUILDING WHICH AIDS IN THE ACOUSTIC QUALITY OF THE AREA.

INFILL HOUSING DESIGN

THIS PROJECT MY CHALLENGE WAS TO PLACE 12 HOUSES ON THE PROPRTY. THE DRIVEWAYS OF THE HOUSES COULD EITHER BE JOINT OR BY THEMSELVES. EACH HOUSE TO WAS TO HAVE A GARAGE, EITHER ATTACHED OR DETACHED. THERE HAD TO BE A COMMUNITY GREEN AREA THAT EACH HOUSE NEEDED TO HAVE ACCESS TO WITHOUT GOING INTO THEIR NEIGHBOR’S YARD.

I ENGINEERED THE ROAD USING DOSBOX AND FOUND THE DIFFERENT GRADES OF THE ROAD AND THE LENGTHS OF EACH ROAD. THE LOCATIONS OF EACH ROAD ARE IN ACCORDANCE TO CLARKE COUNTY ORDI-NANCE. THE ROADS DO NOT EXCEED 900 FEET WITHOUT AN INTERCECTING ROAD FOR AID WITH FIRE TRUCKS. ALL CUL-DE-SAC RADII ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE TO TURN AROUND EASILY.

THIS FARM WAS DESIGNED TO FIT INTO THE CONTEXT OF THE VERY HORSE FOCUSED AREA OF LEXINGTON, KY. I FOCUSED ON THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE ROADS AND ACCESS FOR A TRUCK AND TRAILER COMBINATIONS. THE FARM BELONGS TO A FAMILY AND WOULD BE A FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR DIFFERENT EQUESTRIAN EVENTS SUCH AS DRESSAGE. IN ADDITION TO THE EQUESTRIAN CENTER, I INCLUDED A DUDE RANCH ON SITE THAT LETS YOU EXPERIENCE THE COWBOY LIFESTYLE IN LUXURY.

BROWNFIELD DEVELOPMENT DESIGN

THIS SITE WAS A FORMER INDUSTRIAL SITE. MY GOAL WAS TO RESTORE AND INCORPORATE THE HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND CREATE A MIX-USE DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS A SPECIAL FEATURE TO ATTRACT NON-RESIDENTS TO THE SITE. PROJECT PARAMETERS INCLUDED RETAINING AN EXISTING POWER PLANT, BUT A BARRIER OF SOME KIND WAS NECESSARY FOR AESTHETICS. ATHENS IS A CITY KNOWN FOR ITS MUSIC CULTURE, SO I INCORPORATED MUSIC SYMBOLS AROUND THE SITE IN THE FORMS OF WATER FEATURES, A PLAYGROUND, AND EVEN THE SHAPE OF THE ROAD.

I CREATED A “DESTINATION STATION” THAT HAD AN AMPHITHEATRE, RESTAURANTS, A TRAIN STA-TION, OFFICE SPACE, AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS. THIS SITE IS LOCATED IN ATHENS WHICH HAS A PROMINIENT BUS SYSTEM. I PUT BUS STOPS AT KEY POINTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET TO HAVE EXTERNAL ACCESS WITHOUT TAKING AWAY PARKING SPOTS. THERE IS ALSO A PARKING DECK TO AID IN THE PARKING DEMAND THAT WOULD COME FROM THE RESTAURANT AND AMPHITHEATER ON SITE.

HOLLIDAY PARK DESIGN

THIS PARK IS AT 100’ SCALE. THE SITE IS AN EXISITING 148 ACRE PARK IN INDIANAOPLIS, IN. I WAS TO REATIN THE HISTORIC RUINS ON SITE AND UTILIZE THEM AS AN ATTRACTION. ANOTHER GOAL WAS TO DESIGN A NON-TRADI-TIONAL PLAYGROUND.

HOLLIDAY PARK DESIGN

WHEN ZOOMED INTO THE MAIN ENTRANCE I DESIGNED A MORE FORMAL ENTRANCE TO FOLLOW THE AXIS CREATED BY THE EXISTING RUINS THAT BECOME A FOCAL POINT. THE REFLECTING POOL DOUBLES AS A SKATING RINK IN THE WINTER. THE POOL IS CONNECTED TO THE COMMUNITY CENTER TO ADD A PRETTY VIEW FROM INSIDE THE COMMUNITY CENTER. THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE OPEN SPACE FOR PICNICS AND VARIOUS OPEN FIELD TYPE GAMES.

FOR THE NON-TRADITIONAL PLAYGROUND I CHOSE TO CREATE A GO-KART TRACK BECAUSE THE CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS IS KNOWN FOR HOSTING THE INDY 500 RACES EVERY YEAR AND I WANTED TO CON-TINUE THAT PART OF THE CULTURE OF THE CITY IN THE PARK. I FULLY DESIGNED THE LAYOUT OF THE TRACKS, MINI-GOLF HOLES, AND BUMPER BOAT POOLS.

THIS IS A ROUGH GRADING PLAN OF THE PARK.

THIS WAS A TWO-PART INSTALLATION. FOR THE FIRST INSTALLATION, I DEFINED THE EDGE OF THE BED WITH A PLASTIC EDGING. FOR THE SECOND PART, I TOOK THE INVASIVE PLANT MATERIAL FROM THE BED AND REPLACED IT WITH HOSTAS AND PLACED POTTED ANNUALS. I PUT A LAYER OF LANDSCAPE FABRIC AND MULCH TO AID IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THE KEEPING THE INVASIVES OUT OF THE BED

IN THE BACK YARD, MY CLIENT WANTED A MEDITAION AREA TO RELAX IN AND SHE WANTED TO INCORPORATE TWO ADIRONDACK CHAIRS SHE RECENTLY PURCHASED. AFTER CLEARING THE AREA, I MOVED SOME OF THE HOSTAS FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK BECAUSE THEY NEEDED MORE SHADE AND MADE EDGING OUT OF LEFTOVER BRICK FROM THE SITE. I ADDED MULCH AND A TABLE TO THE AREA FOR AESTHETICS.

THE PROJECT WAS TO ABSTRACTLY RECREATE A STORY THAT INVOLVED AN APPLE AND CREATE A CHILDREN’S BOOK. I CHOSE THE STORY OF “ADAM AND EVE,” THE STORY IS OF THE FALL OF MAN, WHERE THEY WERE TEMPTED BY A PIECE OF FRUIT FROM A TREE.

I USED A TRIANGULAR SHAPE THEME FOR MY ABSTRACT SHAPES. I SOFTENED THE EDGES OF THE TRIANGLES TO MAKE THEM MORE FEMININE FOR EVE AND LEFT THEM SHARP FOR ADAM. I MADE THE BOOK IN THE SHAPE OF A SNAKE AND ZIG-ZAGGED THE PAGES TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING IF YOU WERE SHOWING THE BOOK TO A CHILD.

THE PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A “TREE” AS PART OF AN INSTALLATION AND TO RECORD BYPASSERS’ REACTIONS TO THE TREE. MY GROUP MADE AN “AP-PLE TREE” OUT OF THE STYROFOAM INSERTS FROM A iMAC BOX, OLD CDs, AND WIND CHIMES. ITS STRIKING COLORS AND MUSIC, AND RESEMBLANCE TO POPULAR MUSIC PLAYING DEVICES ATTRACTED MANY PEOPLE IN THE COURSE OF THE INSTALLATION.

SINGER/SONGWRITER: I PERFORM SONGS I WROTE AT VARIOUS CONFERENCES AND OTHER FUNCTIONS IN MY FREETIME. MY MAIN INSTRUMENT IS GUITAR, BUT I ALSO PLAY PIANO, TRUMPET, VIOLIN, AND DRUMS.
