Sustainable Cities Initiative: Redmond Airport
Redmond Airport: Studio 2015
Instructor: Mark Eisheid Goal 1: Connect the people of Redmond Oregon with the local Redmond Airport. Goal 2: Revitalize the native vegetation along the airport entrance to create a sense of place for its citizens.
Steel Bridge
Connections
The city of Redmond is central Oregon’s lone municipal airfield. Our studio partnered with the Oregon Sustainable Cities Initiative to find solutions on how to revitalize the city of Redmond and find solutions . Design Solution: A twelve mile multi-modal loop trail that connects the city to its airport and planting the desert with native grassland Driving forces were ecology and recreation.

Instructor: David Hulse Goal 1: Create a functional riparian habitat where the McKenzie River borders residential properties. Goal 2: Creative a butterfly garden to help sustain species diversity while bringing enjoyment to the homeowner. The Eugene Water & Energy Board (EWEB) partnered with residents along the McKenzie River to help protect the city of Eugene and Springfield’s only drinking water supply. Residents in Springfield volunteered to have their properties evaluated for landscape re-design, to better protect this valuable watershed. Design Solution: Convert a two acre residential lawn into a diverse riparian forest with butterfly habitat gardens. Plant species used for the design act as butterfly hostplant and butterfly nectaring plants.

McKenzie River Residential
McKenzie River Residential Native plants form the base planting palette for the residential property. Since the back of the property rests within the flood zone, plant species chosen for that area are well adapted to riparian inundation events. These plants serve multiple functions including river bank stabilization and serving as food and cover for a myriad of wildlife species.

The Shire: Columbia River Gorge
The Shire: Studio 2016
Instructor: Mark Eisheid Goal 1: Preserve the property’s values of the picturesque of the visionary John Yeon. Goal 2: Recapture ecological function of the property that has been significantly changed through human influence and by invasive plant species.
re Experien Shi ce E
The University of Oregon was gifted a seventy-acre piece of property donated by the trust of the family of Portland architect John Yeon. The property has fallen into a degree of disarray. Students were charged to find solutions to bringing back natural processes by still honor the property. Design Solution: Bring back the salmon spawning grounds to a naturally occurring spring that has been chocked by the invasive Reed Canary Grass. Secondly, open up flight corridors for birds and butterfly movement through prairie habitat. Third, create a series of loop trails and allow people to hike the property, which is currently closed to the public.

The Shire: Columbia River Gorge A conceptual diagram showing the influences which have and have had a direct effect upon the shire. Some processes, such as flooding and the shifting of land, have been occurring for millennia. Other processes such as industry and the building of dams across the Columbia River has brought about swift changes upon the landscape. Portland architect John Yeon (pictured right) had another vision of the property. He purchased the land and spent his life turning his property into a picturesque jewel of the Columbia River Gorge.

East Portland Affordable Housing Project
The First 100 Days: Studio 2017
Team: Chad Hawthorne, Hayley Scott, Chelsea Luiz, Max Granjean Instructor: Anne Godfrey Goal 1: Develop an affordable housing neighborhood community living development. Goal 2: Create an sense of place for the residence of a newly developed affordable housing project featuring sustainable practices of storm-water collection, community gardening and renewable on-site energy design. The Lents neighborhood in Northeast Portland has allocated funding to revitalize their area. Businesses partnered with the University of Oregon landscape architecture and architecture departments to find creative solutions to create a vibrant community center. Design Solution Convert a three acre plot of land adjacent to the Lents Boys & Girls Club from a turf grass lot into a multifamily community living facility.

Strawberry Plaza
Technical Studio: Studio 2017
Team: Chad Hawthorne, Flora Chen, Chris Telomen Instructor: Brad Stangland Goal 1: Demonstrate technical ability to use AutoCAD skills within a site design context. Goal 2: Work with a team to produce a set of construction documents for the proposed construction site. The city of Lebanon, Oregon contracted with Stangland & Associates to design a plaza within the city center with a focus of creating a sense of place, celebrating the strawberry harvest. Design Solution: To produce a concept that echoes the rich history of the strawberry trade in Lebanon, and capture a sense of place within the landscape of Central Oregon.

Below is the grading plan for the plaza. I wanted the plaza to only drain to two central points. A unique feature was a splash pad that resided. Keeping the plaza floor from draining onto the splash pad and mixing within treated water allowed for some creative design implementation, thus an area drain skirts the pad, keeping the two waters separate.

Sunburst City Park. Plants Class Winter 2015
Illustrative color pencil design concept drawing for a one city block park in Portland. The concept centers around a elevated walking path that cuts across the entire park. The path rises from ground level from both corners of the park and crests twelve feet off of the ground at the center point.
A major theme of the park is color. Through the spring and summer months the color palette is of soft hues of pink, lavender, white and purple set against various shades of green. Fall brings an abrupt change of color when all plants display vibrant shades of yellows and oranges.

Travel Abroad: Mapping Hong Kong Pen & pencil drawing of my experience in Hong Kong
A summer spent in Hong Kong. Mapping the natural spaces of one of the most densly populated countries in the world opened my eyes to the bounty of wilderness that still remains within Hong Kong. Nearly 40% of Hong Kong is dedicated wild spaces and resides inside of the country’s version of our national parks, the country parks.

The concept was to create a rich desert-scape that butterflies and birds can frequent. Complete with koi pond, the garden acts as an oasis to satisfy many animals within the area as native nectar and water sources disappear. Garden features are a custom designed fence and seven specimen boulders.
Custom fence allows the passerby a chance to enjoy a peak.

Overlooking a canyon rim, a 18� tall serpintine sitting wall allows vistors to enjoy the views of the valley floor. The wall acts as a barrier that separates the level back yard atop the canyon rim from a slppe of greater than 50%. The wall spans over 75 linear feet as it meanders along the ridge. The centerpice is a gathering place, complete with a moble fire pit for enjoying the space at night. Downslope is a concrete path which takes you to the back gate and further down canyon.

Built Projects: Cottage Garden. My Parents Home 2014-2016
A custom white picket fence wraps around the back yard.
A new lawn gives the wooded two acre yard a fresh look. A cottage garden for my mom to spend time reflecting and relaxing with her little dog. The yard spans two acres, but to make the space more manageable, outdoor rooms were created to give the space a cohesive but unique set of activities. A quick master plan was drawn to let my parents see what their yard would transform into. Extending the patio by 16 feet in the back gave them ample space for entertaining and relaxing in the back yard, and a new lawn gave the front a more forest clearing feel. I made the white picket fence by hand which frames the back yard and allows for their dog to roam freely but safely. A handrail and ADA ramp was designed and installed for the front yard.

Long seasonality of high quality nectar sources form a largely native plant palette that will help facilitate an urban hub for pollinating insects through the growing season. Plant selections are well suited for long dry summers, and half of the plant species function as larval host plants, addressing complete insect lifecycle needs.

Many local businesses look for help with design concepts. Many of these projects are taken on by students. Here, a local medical clinic who serves the undeserved, needed a design concept for the entrance of their clinic. My concept was to create a native pollinator garden that focused on water-wise plants.
