ONE GLENLAKE ATLANTA, GEORGIA
PROJECT SUMMARY >> TSW completed landscape architectural site plans for alterations on a site at an existing office building on One Glenlake Parkway in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Site design included a flexible use ADA-compliant artificial turf lawn, a large shade structure with globe string lighting, concrete and ipe wood slat plinth seat walls, an on-grade ipe wood deck with a fire pit lounge, permeable paver plazas, and sunken rain gardens. Permeable pavers improve on-site sustainability and hydrology while connecting two pedestrian plazas spanning a drive aisle, slowing traffic and giving the exterior space back to the pedestrian. New speed tables in the drive aisles connect the two new plazas to the existing hardscape, further slowing traffic and giving users a completely accessible route to and through all exterior plaza spaces. A suspended sidewalk that at one time bridged a water feature was retained in the design and integrated into the new plaza overlooking the existing waterfall. Permeable pavers fill the void left by the removed water feature, lying flush with the existing suspended sidewalk and creating a hardscape plaza space. The remaining voids were turned into sunken vegetation gardens, planted with vertical, dense horsetail reed that flank walkways through the plaza. CLIENT >> Gensler

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA BEAUFORT MASTER PLAN BEAUFORT COUNT, SOUTH CAROLINA
PROJECT SUMMARY >> The University of South Carolina Beaufort’s compact historic campus in the heart of downtown Beaufort is complemented by the new Hilton Head Gateway campus along Highway 278. Double-digit growth in student population means that facilities on both campuses must grow to meet expanding needs. TSW was retained to perform a space needs analysis, including 10-year projections for campus population growth and deficits in classroom, office, recreation, and other types of space. Significant needs were addressed through proposed expansions. The Master Plan also includes recommendations for transportation and parking, public spaces, building design, and other aspects of facilities on both campuses. To address the needs of the underutilized historic campus, an action plan proposes a new residence hall and classroom building. These will generate much needed activity to make the campus more viable, while providing academic space to expand desired degree programs. The architectural style and scale of the proposed buildings complements the nearby historic homes and businesses. The already growing Hilton Head Gateway campus is proposed to be further expanded in a way that focuses on and energizes the main quad. Improvements to the previous master plan will bring activity from the proposed Convocation Center into the heart of campus, while still preserving an academic focus.

SOUTH DOWNTOWN MARTA STATIONS MAKEOVER ATLANTA, GEORGIA
PROJECT SUMMARY >> Central Atlanta Progress hired TSW to create implementation focused design recommendations for the two South Downtown MARTA Stations, Five Points and Garnett. The recommendations address immediate-, short-, and long-term needs, and are considered through the lens of short-term feasibility. Both stations have similar elements that inhibit their success, but because of the differing contexts and environments, require modified recommendations to address the overarching challenges. TSW engaged in a vigorous public engagement process to learn more about the current riders’ desires for the stations and surrounding neighborhoods. Because of feedback from various focus groups, the project design team formed a strategy using pride-building concepts of “I Choose MARTA” and “MARTA Makeover.” The project team visited the two stations, Georgia State University, and Woodruff Park during station “intercepts” to survey people riding MARTA and non-riders. The team synthesized all of the previous feedback and devised guiding principles to attain MARTA’s overall goal of increasing ridership. The design recommendations address the principles through three themes, which are reconnecting interrupted corridors, enhancing views to the stations, and activating underutilized public spaces. TSW is currently receiving feedback on the preliminary design recommendations in order to make adjustments and prioritize needs. Many of the ideas can be addressed through immediate, “tactical” methods or within a short period of time (ideally, within two years) with limited funding.

JUNIPER STREET STREETSCAPES PHASE II
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
PROJECT SUMMARY >> As part of a major streetscaping project in Midtown Atlanta, TSW was asked by the Midtown Alliance to improve the aesthetics and function of Juniper Street. The $9.3 million streetscape project begins on 14th Street and continues to North Avenue, and 12th Street is included from Juniper Street to Piedmont Avenue. Although Juniper Street is home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants and theaters, and is part of the Midtown Business District, the street had sections that were in need of repair, and weren’t pedestrian or bicycle friendly. TSW’s design keeps three lanes of one-way travel and incorporates a bike lane, as part of the City’s existing bike lane system to provide alternative commuting options. Off-peak parallel parking was realigned, and new trees and more spacious sidewalks will be added. Additional planters, benches, bike racks and trash receptacles will tie the street together visually and make it much more appealing and safer for cyclists and pedestrians. the bioswales will beautify Juniper Street. Each bioswale will be created from local river rock with native plants and trees that adapt to wet soils. CLIENT >> Midtown Alliance / City of Atlanta

COLONIAL HOMES REDEVELOPMENT ATLANTA, GEORGIA
PROJECT SUMMARY >> Pool Amenity Area: The pool amenity area was designed to have a direct visual and physical link with the interior club space and leasing center. The plan continues a similar wood paving from the interior space to the exterior amenity deck. The amenity area’s pool, picnic lawn, fire place, and a series of outdoor living rooms are organized around a central view axis from the club looking over an infinity edge water feature. The City required that the pool be completely screened form the street. To avoid completely walling the pool off from the park the design uses a unique clam shell green wall configuration that screens the pool from the street but allows perforated views into the park. Integrated Bioretention: The plan features a completely integrated bioretention area for stormwater treatment. Stormwater from the building’s roof and amenity area is fed into the bioretention area which is planted to emulate a wetland, cleaning the water and allowing it to percolate into the ground. The bioretention area is a landscape feature accessible by boardwalks and visible from the amenity deck, the residences, and the amenity deck. CLIENT >> Colonial Homes Apartment Community

STUDIOPLEX ON AUBURN ATLANTA, GEORGIA
PROJECT SUMMARY >> TSW and Smith Dalia Architects were retained by the Orinda Corporation and their partner, Historic District Development Corporation, to prepare a master plan for repositioning Studio- Plex on Auburn. Originally conceived after the 1996 Olympics as a combination of mixed-income rental housing and work studio spaces, StudioPlex failed to live up to its potential. Instead, the site languished as the surrounding Old Fourth Ward neighborhood blossomed with new homes and businesses. The master planning effort focused on repositioning the existing StudioPlex building by upgrading units and creating opportunities for mixed-income, owner occupied housing. Following completion of the master plan, TSW’s Landscape Architecture Studio was retained to redesign the central open-air corridor within the existing StudioPlex structure. The design focused on creating private spaces for corridor-fronting units, while still creating a unified palette of planting materials to tie the space together and make the space more pleasant for future residents and businesses. TSW also provided design services for streetscape along the site’s edge. CLIENT >> Orinda Corporation Historic District Development Corporation
