[penn state arts courtyard] conceptual design designing a contemplative courtyard experience The redesign of the Penn State Arts Courtyard uses stress and its relation to student life on campus to create a contemplative space. A series of terraces divide the courtyard into three zones, each providing a different level of stress relief. Inspiration for the lowest terrace was derived from the Bloedel Reserve.

Riparian Habitat

Ro e1 ut

Parking

a community infused with life Infusing the core of Bellefonte with a connective, community-oriented living and breathing landscape, structured along a central pedestrian spine. Revitalization occurs at the interface of community gathering spaces along the spine where they juxtapose the fluid, muscular landforms of Spring Creek. These dynamic interfaces create a vibrant landscape, teeming with a variety of plants, animals, and human activities which respond to changes in the flow of Spring Creek over time.

[the old orchard wildlife preserve] conceptual design preserving a valuable habitat corridor while providing both educational and recreational opportunities The implementation of the wildlife preserve conceptual plan at the old prison orchard site facilitates the creation of a variety of recreational opportunities while enhancing and preserving valuable wildlife habitat. The habitat maintained by the preserve works to increase the presence of natural lands within the watershed and creates a large patch of habitat within the fragmented landscape.

[mount joy sportmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club] professional work master plan and schematic details The goal of the Mount Joy Sportmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club master plan is to renovate the existing parking lot, relocate the existing rifle ranges and skeet shoot, enhance the backstops to increase the safety of the club and design a new pistol range to be used for SWAT training as well as recreational shooting. Challenges involved lot setbacks, increasing safety measures, preserving existing trees and the .30 cal match rifle range, arranging the firing orientation to avoid overlap and ensuring a safe long distance trajectory of any bullet that may stray past the backstops in a rare scenario. 8' 9"

[state farm landscape plan] professional work planting plan The State Farm landscape plan involved creating a base map from field measurements and preparing a planting design for the entry sign at the State Farm building along Main Street, Mount Joy. Inspiration for the planting came from an abstracted stream bed. Two levels were created with a low dry laid natural stone retaining wall and Blue Lithodora, a trailing blue ground cover was planted throughout the stream bed and over the wall to create the appearance of a waterfall. Natural limestone boulders, native grasses, wildflowers and small shrubs with seasonal interest were planted along the banks of the dry stream to add depth and interest. An important and challenging component of the design was to maintain a clear sight triangle (C.S.T.) at the access drive.

[residential landscape plan] professional work deck and backyard renovations This residential design focuses on providing shade along the eastern edge of the building while allowing space for entertaining. Design inspiration was drawn from Mediterranean plantings and worked to create a shaded, tropical feel in the warm sunny conditions. Challenges involved a low budget, inability to plant shade trees and utilizing the existing pergola and deck. Some plants used within the design were Sky Rocket Juniper, Lavender, Trailing Rosemary, Yucca, Lilac, Wisteria, Palms, Ferns, Dwarf Olive Trees, Big Blue Stem, Globe Boxwood and vines/ trailing plants for the hanging baskets.
