PORTFOLIO LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE SELECTED WORKS | 2020-2024
Isabella Rossy UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENT + DESIGN
Thank you for taking the time to review my portfolio today, The following is a collection of works I’ve developed during my undergraduate career at the University of Georgia. During this time, I have had the privilege of working on community projects which has allowed me to interact closely with those impacted by my designs. It is my experience that collaborating with all stakeholders empowers us as landscape designers to do more than just solve the overarching problems of a site. This critical step in the design process results in concepts that feel both natural and purposeful, thereby leading to designs that stand the test of time. As such, I have developed a particular interest in public engagement and insightful design. In the future, I hope to use my experience to bring a sense of connectivity to all projects I have the opportunity to work on - whether that be community based design or an entirely new experience. Thank you again, I hope you enjoy.

.01 THREE OAKS PARK Group Project - Sandhya Muralidharan Location: 2/11 N Pheasant Drive, Albany, GA 31707 Fall - 2023 Three Oaks Park is located in the Lake Park and Merry Acres neighborhood of Albany, Georgia. The park serves surrounding residents, providing a recreational space for exercise and community gatherings to take place. Our aim throughout this process was to a facilitate an ongoing collaboration effort with residents to understand the possibilities and initiatives of Three Oaks Park. This engagement helped to ensure an effective design would be achieved. In an effort to re-imagine the site, City of Albany Fourth Ward Commissioner, Chad Warbington, contacted the University of Georgia to provide design concepts for Three Oaks Park. The site has been primarily used as a storm water detention basin; however, it has failed to adequately serve this purpose and been the source of major flooding problems in the area. The park has recently undergone a series of infrastructure improvements to address the flooding issue, which created an opportunity for landscape design to enhance the natural beauty of the site.

THREE OAKS PARK MASTER PLAN Graphic Process: AutoCAD file exported into Photoshop. Renderings post-processed in Procreate. The plan for Three Oaks was developed following feedback from the concept design survey. The master plan was then presented in a town hall meeting at nearby Lake Park Elementary School. Residents noted the need for signage, a sidewalk extension, and walking trail. These were determined to be of primary installation importance and will be the first to be installed once funds are raised to develop Three Oaks Park. In addition, the 25,500 s.f. detention basin is deep enough to retain water from a 25-year storm event and will prevent flooding at the nearby residences.

A successful planting design is also pleasing to the eye. The plant palette chosen varies seasonally. This was purposely done so the park will remain a place of interest and enjoyment year-round. This variety will attract residents and vistiors to stay a while.
.03 HARDINESS It w was important to choose plants tha establish and mature quickly that in tthe given conditions. The main deten detention area will collect, infiltrate, and treat the adjacent storm water runoff. It will also act as a natural ru noise buffer between the various use zones located throughout the site.

During our initial site meeting, it became clear that some of the local residents were unaware of the park’s location, this being in part due to the lack of signage throughout the Lake Park and Merry Acres neighorhood. In an effort to make it easier for residents to orient themselves, we developed signage that can be used along sidewalks and roadways to welcome residents. The walking trail signage also notifies residents of the distance they will be traversing, which could encourage them to exercise more often.

.02 PEACH CENTRE Group Project - Jeana Donohue & Brady Rodts Location: 3700 Atlanta Highway, Athens, GA 30606 Spring - 2022 Peach Centre, also known as the Georgia Square Mall, is a 670,000 square foot shopping mall located on the southwest side of Athens, GA. It is surrounded by mixed-use businesses and retail spaces. A number of residential neighborhoods are located adjacent the development. The site also sits at a prime location, the intersection of Atlanta Highway and I-10. These existing conditions primarily inspired our redevelopment design approach. We also studied precedents such as Suwanee Town Center and Ponce City Market to increase economic conditions and walkability. In addition, an effort was made to preserve much of the site’s existing features such as the north side retention pond, the primary “loop” surrounding the main building, and main entrance points. The primary goal of this project was to create an inviting center to connect visitors with amenities and increase economic vitality.

PEACH CENTRE EXISTING CONDITIONS .01 EXISTING FEATURES We began this project by taking inventory of the various natural and built features of the Georgia Square Mall. This information was used to determine which features we wanted to highlight. This also helped us in deciding what modifications and additions would need to be implemented.

.02 CONNECTIVITY The site is located near the intersection of I-10 and Atlanta Highway. This makes it an extremely desirable location for business owners and investors. Our initial exploration involved examining various connection points and public transportation routes to determine common traffic patterns. Aerial View of the I-10 & Atlanta Hwy Intersection
.03 SURROUNDING USE It was important for us to consider the surrounding mixed-use developments and residential areas. This allowed us to explore what economic opportunities could be capitalized on. A comparison with the adjacent zoning types was also necessary to guide our design process. Aerial View of Adjacent Residential Neighborhood

Peach Centre Master Plan
NTS
PEACH CENTRE MASTER PLAN Graphic Process: AutoCAD line work printed and designed by hand. Rendering completed in Procreate. Peach Centre was inspired by the needs of those in the community. Some of these needs include affordable housing, exercise amenities, gathering spaces, and a nearby grocery store. The final design utilized many of the existing features. The primary roadway “loop” located adjacent the property line was maintained. An additional retention pond was added on site to help with storm water runoff. The existing retention pond, located on the north side of the site was also kept.
The main access point, located on the south side of the plan, creates an axial view for the central part of this design. This encourages visitors to stop or drive by the inner core. The outer buildings house affordable, multi-family residential units. Ample parking is included nearby to accommodate the dense population. This mixed-use redevelopment allows those who live on site to shop, work, and play in this same area. The use of this design would overall foster connectivity and accessibility.

.03 MISSING MIDDLE Individual Project Location: Moss Side Drive, Athens, GA 30607 Spring - 2022 This redevelopment proposal is located on 31 acres within a residential subdivision of Athens. The Missing Middle project aims to improve the availability of quality, affordable housing for Clarke county residents. We further sought to maintain much of the hardwood forest currently present by analyzing soil, slope, and watershed conditions. This analysis informed the placement of roads, housing, and an amenity area. The design was able to conserve much of existing environmental conditions within the site, while maintaining the economic conditions of a more intrusive development. A combination of 2,800 and 5,000 sq. ft. homes were utilized throughout the site. These are nestled around pocket parks that act as a buffer and amenity. This integrates a sense of contemplative solitude that urban residents often search for.

MISSING MIDDLE MASTER PLAN Graphic Process: AutoCAD line-work printed; plan designed and rendered by hand. Design post-processed in Procreate. The Missing Middle master plan features many amenities that traditional neighborhood designs lack. The lake serves as a natural buffer between the main living clusters. It further provides a gathering place and activity hub for community members. The lake is accessed by a winding forest trail. Its trailhead is located halfway between the two living clusters, making it easily accessible to those who live here. In addition to these central amenities, the pocket parks located adjacent every living unit provide ample recreation space.

The issue of sufficient parking was at the forefront of all design challenges. Managing the balance between conservation and automobile movement in this dense development was part of the process. Parking locations were chosen following an analysis of the existing conditions and sited buildings. The overall design is geared toward those in every stage of life.

MISSING MIDDLE AMENITY PLAN Graphic Process: AutoCAD line work printed; plan designed and rendered by hand. Design post-processed in Photoshop. The Missing Middle amenity area was a key component of this design. It is situated in a steeply sloped area of the site to conserve the hardwood forest surrounding the lake. This led to the implementation of a terraced retaining wall and an ADA ramp. Volleyball courts are located on the north side of this area. They are within view of the main entrance to spark interest and visitation.
A pool and hot tub were placed adjacent the retaining wall. This provides a sense of enclosure and isolation for residents. These qualities are often difficult to find in dense developments. The community clubhouse provides a utilitarian space for residents to make use of while present. These features make the Missing Middle development desirable to Athenians.

.04 EFFINGHAM HISTORIC RESOURCE SURVEY Volkert, Inc. Internship Supervisor: Amber Ray Location: Effingham, GA Fall - 2022 The Effingham Historic Resource Survey was sponsored by Verizon Wireless as a mitigation effort. A historic survey had not been completed in this county since 1978, which made researching the location and condition of historic resources difficult. We began by utilizing a 1978 USGS topographic map to discover the location of previous resources. Effingham tax information was used to confirm the replacement or existence of resources within a general area. Our research on the existing buildings led to a trip to Effingham, in which we cataloged the historic resources through a series of photographs and homeowner discussions. An analysis of Effingham’s developmental history was completed to understand the historic background of this county and its connection to the existing resources archived. An updated historic resource map and final report was generated from this research.

1978 EFFINGHAM COUNTY HISTORIC CONDITIONS .01 SURVEY AREA We began this project by comparing a 1978 USGS topographic map (left) to the existing buildings present within those areas. This helped us understand the number of resources still present and available to archive. 2022 Aerial View of Survey Area
.02 EXTANT RESOURCES Determining the existing resources proved challenging as there has been sufficient development since 1978. Roadways and natural features were used to determine the approximate location of historic resources and confirmed through tax records. 2022 Aerial View of the Section 57 (upper left)
.03 DOCUMENTATION This research informed the creation of a current and detailed resource map, which guided a documentation trip to Effingham. Local discussions with homeowners helped us to confirm additions and construction dates.

EFFINGHAM COUNTY EXTANT RESOURCES Graphic Process: Esri aerial map overlayed with survey area and updated with existing resource information. Our research and documentation of the existing historic resources informed the creation of an updated historic resource map. This map catalogs the resources by section. Only the structures we were able to find and identify as significant based on the 1978 USGS map were included. Many of the original structures have been demolished. This area has seen entire neighborhoods redeveloped as it continually grows due to its proximity to Savannah, GA. From this data, we can ascertain a total of 372 historic resources have been lost from 1978 to 2022.

.05 JSB ALUMNI PLAZA Individual Project Location: Athens, GA Fall 2023 The College of Environment and Design at the University of Georgia is housed in Jackson Street Building (JSB). JSB Alumni Plaza was designed with the intention of educating us on how to put together a complete construction documents package. We began the semester with a landscape survey, and worked to make the site into a memorial space that also functioned well for everyday use. As a final project, we were tasked with 3-D modeling our design in SketchUp or Lumion to visualize our design decisions. Presently, the space is used to transition from the front of Jackson Street Building to North Campus Parking Deck. Erosion is an issue, with compacted clay soil being visible on the north side of the site. ADA accessibility is another problem we sought to solve while designing the site. The present route takes users around Jackson Street Building, nearly 150 yards from the North Campus Deck entrance/exit, and is extremely impractical. We were also tasked with designating a space for an alumni plaque wall that would feature graduates from the College of Environment and Design.

JSB ALUMNI PLAZA: CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Graphic Process: Files generated in AutoCAD. This design proposal uses the steep topography to its advantage, implementing an amphitheater that can be used for instructing or events. It also solves the issue of ADA accessibility by giving those users efficient access to the main entrance of Jackson Street Building. The alumni plaque wall was placed adjacent the amphitheater, which provides a space of seclusion amongst the otherwise active use areas. These documents were then used to generate a 3-D model for the JSB Alumni Plaza design.
