The building helps eliminate stormwater run-off. To enhance a more sustainable design the building uses natural sunlight and wind direction. The surrounding landscape is left as little altered as possible including preserving riparian zones and natural swales. Outdoor laboratories and classrooms are available to students and teachers.

HOWARDS LANDING WINERY + BISTRO
CLARK COUNTY, KY
located on a bluff overlooking the kentucky river valley this site has provided a great location for the design of the howards landing winery + bistro. Inventory and analysis were very important for this design since the vines can only grow on certain slopes and in certain soils as well as needing a steady flow of wind to dry the leaves. The inventory and analysis provided below shows how the site was designed to suit these needs as well as those of the business owner.

live green kentucky
university of kentucky, lexington, KY context map
designed as a collaboration between the university of kentucky college of engineering and now being utilized as a living working laboratory for the college of agriculture, the UK solar house, known as sky.blue, is located next to the site of the cooper house on nicholasville road. as a living learning laboratory the solar house site will be a dwelling for two researchers who are hoping to promote sustainable living in the city limits, the house itself is a zero energy house. the landscape around it is also very sustainable in nature. elements include permeable hardscape and edible gardens for cooking and food. elevated berms reduce rainwater runoff into the streets and also imitate the rolling hills of the bluegrass. a raingarden and bioswale eliminate any excess water from running off site and prevents further flooding problems. native plants are used in a way that is sustainable and very appealing to the senses of the dwellers and visitors.

Main Building
The current design for the Urban Research Park calls for a more integrated design concept with a complete remediation of the site to eliminate the possibility of More contamination. Existing axisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that flow directly into the site are kept through the site as well as the elimination of the diagonal pedestrian corridors that disected the site. The pedestrian corridors are replaced with green corridors lined with plant material and trees that create a haven for the employees of the site as well as patrons to the commercial sector. Along Wilson Avenue is commercial development that will be convenient for the neighborhood residents. The shotgun houses opposite of the smaller commercial buildings along Wilson Avenue with later be sought for development as professional offices while keeping the historic architectural integrity of the houses. Industrial building types are placed closer to the neighboring industrial districts and the adjacent railroad. These buildings are applicable for use by many diverse companies that seek to find a prime site near the University of Louisville as well as within clear sight of the ever changing downtown of Louisville.

Wilson Avenue is transformed into a walkable pleasant environment with street trees put in place as well as the conversion of the shotgun houses into future offices for professionals. Wilson Avenue also hosts small commercial retail for the surrounding community including a grocery store.

Gosselin Residence This sustainable design incorporates a contemporary themes for a modern home. Living green-roofs and permeable pavers in walkways reduces the affect of run-off as well as absorbing energy from the sun. Two social areas are created keeping in mind the downward sloping front yard of the house. Lining the walkway with trees and creating turns makes the experience one that is more interesting and intimate for the owners and visitors walking to the main entrance to the house. Greenroof allows for this modern house to reduce its carbon footprint. The entire roof will reduce water run-off to a minimum.

The Nature Conservancy Work for the Nature Conservancy, Kentucky Chapter, includes updating and creating maps for various properties owned or managed by the Nature Conservancy using ArcMap. Other work includes providing images created to present for potential patrons of the Non-Profit that helps protect endangered tracts of land with natural significance. As a student of landscape architecture my knowledge is sought out for guidance in the creation of trails and design components of new public Preserves. Current work deals with the master plan for the Kentucky River Palisades region that boasts a number of public and private nature preserves, many owned by The Nature Conservancy. The Creation of the master plan is for hopes of a connection between these preserves as a natural tourist destination that has not been exposed to many for its natural and unique beauty.
