A concept sketch of an idea for a neighborhood library is multi-functional, combining known materials and design with a modern twist.
During my free time, I am currently providing landscape design services to a client living in the Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose CA. The couple is looking to replace their turf lawn with native and drought tolerant plants as well as wanting ideas to beautify, enhance, and bring wildlife to their front yard. I have since provided them with an initial concept plan as seen on page 2, an idea for a neighborhood library as seen to the left, and a some plant imagery with descriptions of pertinent design aspects per plant as it relates to function and aesthetics.

Residential Freelance presenting these three landscape design concepts, a schematic design of the English Garden concept was developed taking into consideration feedback from the client.
Willow Glen Residence San Jose, California Three landscape design concepts of the clients’ front yard were presented using three boards each: first, an image depicting the overall concept; second, various plant imagery; and finally, a concept plan. The Oak Chaparral concept in particular, as seen on page 5, focuses on three types of low growing shrubs with varying shades of green (dark, medium, and grey). This balance of varying foliage color provides a framework to make an otherwise messy native landscape, especially during the winter, look elegant. The various blooming seasons of these shrubs will create visual interest throughout the year. After

Civic Millbrae BART Station Millbrae, California HMH was hired by Republic Urban Properties to provide planning, landscape architecture, and civil engineering services for the Gateway at Millbrae Station project. The project takes place at the Millbrae BART/ Caltrain Station that serves regional rail systems as well. Four buildings will take over the existing parking lot, with two of those buildings providing parking inside. A portion of the parking lot will be maintained while the parking structure will remain entirely to account for vehicular use. The four buildings include the following: a seven-story, 320-unit apartment building with 13,749 sq ft of retail space, a 151,538 sq ft office building with 22,534 sf ft of retail space, an 80-unit veterans affordable housing building, and a 163-room hotel with 7,840 sq ft of retail space. Working closely with three different architects (Form4, ACRMA, and LPMD) on these four buildings, HMH was responsible for laying out the site as well as providing landscape and civil construction documents. Our landscape team worked closely with our civil team to design the BART plaza and central paseo, called Garden Lane, located between the office building to the north (5A) and the apartment building to the south (5B). The paseo design carefully combines urban design principals with aesthetics and functionality. The paving pattern, shown on pg 4, takes on that of a train track, but abstractly draws you towards certain elements. The design philosophies of Mikyoung Kim, James Corner, and Kevin Conger were incorporated into this design.

Residential Development Urban Oak San Jose, California Located in San Jose, the 32-acre multi-phase residential project aims to provide suburban benefits with urban conveniences. The project is a short distance from the Santa Teresa VTA Station, Blossom Hill Caltrain Station, and Costco. This project provides a central public park, a private linear greenway, and amenity-driven spaces to create the ultimate sanctuary-driven community. The project is broken up into 5 neighborhoods consisting of 3-story and 4-story townhome flats as well as single family detached units. HMH provided the landscape design services for the residential units and the central public park.
HMH coordinated with the architect and civil engineer to create a step design that works with the building and flatwork.
The landscape team worked with the owner, general contractor, and civil engineer to create an irrigation master plan that incorporates each neighborhood’s POC and power source.

Corporate Campus Genentech Employee Center and Hilltop-A South San Francisco, California Hilltop-A and the proposed Employee Center share a 5.3 acre parcel in the heart of Genentech’s 160 acre South San Francisco campus which includes a no-mow green and plaza. The campus accommodates life science facilities for laboratories, vivariums, product development & research in addition to administration, cafeterias, and employee health facilities. MPA teamed with Perkins + Will on both projects to accommodate a back-to-back design and construction schedule. My involvement in the Hilltop-A project was mainly during the construction administration phase which included editing drawings and details for ASIs, RFIs , and submittals. My involvement in the Employee Center project, on the other hand, started in the middle of the Basic Design phase, then shifted to the 100% CD Permit Set phase, and continued through construction in February 2017. During the basic design phase, graphics were created to present the design before the Design Review Board. In addition to a demo, layout, grading, and planting plan, an accessibility, soil profile, and subdrainage plan were included in the Construction Documents for the Employee Center Project.

A LEED Gold Landscape provides the opportunity for exemplary landscape design for the Employee Center, one that strives to achieve high standards of social and ecological sustainability. The landscape design integrates outdoor spaces, planting, and design elements with the building design, facilitating a symbiotic relationship where each benefits from the others’ presence and function. Spatial relationships: indoor/outdoor spaces, ground planes and roofs, and vertical circulation are considered holistically across the site. Methods to conserve energy and treat stormwater attempt to use the most sustainable and viable methods available. Grey water and recycled water are reused on site in the building and to irrigate the landscape. Outdoor gathering areas and access routes are designed for maximum accessibility. These methods used to achieve a sustainable LEED Gold landscape are interpreted via signage and other means to educate the building’s occupants and visitors, and reinforce the image of the Employee Center as the new progressive campus hub for Genentech. The Hilltop-A no-mow green and the Employee Center plaza holistically create a place for leisure and gathering.
The Employee Center rooftop garden is the first of its kind at Genentech, and the concept resembles that of DNA banding.

Corporate Campus Genentech B40 South Campus Connector South San Francisco, California MPA Design was pleased to work closely with Genentech’s campus planning team and Woods Bagot architects to develop a large plaza outside the new 6 story office building, while seamlessly integrating the landscape using Genentech’s campus standards and overall master plan as a point of reference. The campus entry at the new circle’s East Grand Avenue terminus is designed and coordinated with the B40 entry plaza and addresses views while also providing screen planting to frame the building. On the east side of the building, the planting design takes the shape and form of a dna banding pattern. My involvement has been to assist the lead landscape designer and principal in charge not only in creating graphics during the concept phase of the project, but developing the grading and sub-drainage plans during design development, and managing communication with the civil, architect, and general contractor. With the site dropping from buildings to the north of B40 down to the buildings south of B40, and with a large plaza that requires less than 2% slope in any direction, meticulous attention to spot grades was necessary. The plaza also needed to be designed to slope to various bioretentions.

Corporate Campus Genentech Childcare Center South San Francisco, California In light of their ever growing demand, Genentech, a biotechnology corporation, provides their employees with many benefits including a second Childcare Facility to serve 500 children ranging from the ages of 6 weeks to 6 year olds. MPA Design was happy to work closely with Genentech’s campus planning team to design the perimeter landscape for a LEED Gold facility, while MIG focused on the Outdoor Learning Environment landscape. The perimeter landscape design fits with the feeling and overall character of Genentech’s campus. On top of just meeting Lines and Genentech’s goals of providing childcare services that support children’s wellness and growth in a sustainable and healthy setting, MPA was excited to take the lead role in designing a playful and colorful entry paving pattern in front of the administrative building as seen on the images to the right.

I worked closely with Genentech’s campus planner to develop a presentation for South San Francisco’s Design Review Board and help explain the landscape perimeter’s design in relation to Genentech’s overall campus character. I have since been involved with the value engineering phase and permitting phase of the project. 25
Residential Development Haven Menlo Park, California The demand of housing in the Bay Area has given rise to hi-end residential developments that embrace a vibrant living style with various amenities including pools, spas, sound systems, large screen televisions, and lounge areas. Haven, a residential development in Menlo Park, maximizes its site, and provides many of these mentioned amenities. Multiple spaces are developed to support this new living style and create character. The spaces include a pool area, a meadow garden, an activity garden, a recreation center, and a community room.

Corporate Campus Genentech Bus Shuttle Stop Plazas South San Francisco, California In an effort to improve transportation and accessibility for their 200 acre South San Francisco campus, Genentech worked closely with MPA Design to expand and upgrade three shuttle stop areas. The shuttle stops were designed for 25’ on-campus shuttle buses as well as larger commuter buses routed to SFO, BART, San Francisco, and the surrounding area. The conceptual design highlighted pullouts, bulb outs, new bicycle lanes, and vehicular lane shifting. Built improvements include expanded plaza areas to create more space for people to wait for buses, extended bus stops to accommodate
32
more buses, and increased vegetation. The shuttle plazas are designed with integral color paving, seat walls, benches, and visually distinct columnar Cupressus macrocarpa trees for ease of user identification as seen at the B36 shuttle stop on page 10. All paving connections are designed to meet the current accessibility standards. My involvement in the B5, B24, and B36 shuttle stop projects started with organizing and developing the construction documents shortly after concepts were quickly developed by the project manager. After a 50% package was submitted to the client for review, my responsibilities continued with redlines handed off to other team members for the 100% submittal to the city for Permit review.
Solid blocks of concrete create a rhythmic design and are used as seating at the Hilltop A bus shuttle stop. A simple design accommodates the expansive roll that bus shuttles have taken throughout the campus.

The rooftop courtyard creates a tranquil space adjacent to St. Mary’s Square, providing additional public open space that is in short supply within San Francisco. The rooftop courtyard also provides seating at the southwest corner of the parcel, and adds views onto the street below and east toward the San Francisco Bay. Furthermore, a large planter located in the center of the courtyard screens a private office space on the fifth floor. This planter creates a green space and in turn reduces the urban heat island effect. 37

For my senior project, the Silicon [V]alley Gateway, I designed a master plan driven by the future implementations of the CA High-Speed Rail and the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) at the San Jose Diridon Station. Five hundred acres of redevelopment surrounding the Diridon Station creates a dynamic urban fabric and transit hub for high-tech companies, startups, residents, and entertainment. The project functions both as a gateway and threshold in the Silicon Valley, ultimately serving as a planning model for future generations.

Planting Schematic | The trees used in the design came from San Jose’s General Plan, and are used throughout the existing city fabric. Fruit trees planted in La Huerta Park (Orchard Park) were carefully selected based on economic reliability and significant historical impact as San Jose was once known as “The Valley of Heart’s Delight,” and was filled with orchards.
