2 I STATEMENT
JUSTIN HAILEY “I believe that great landscapes are not built into a site, but grown out of it. Landscapes at all scales must be inherently connected to the land and region that they occupy. It is imperative to me that design decisions are informed by the geology, ecology, culture and society that they serve.�

8 I INTRODUCTION
BRIDGING HISTORY The rich logging history of the Connecticut River informed several design decisions on island park. The island, which was at one time the very first bridged connection between Vermont and New Hampshire, has a long standing quality of bringing things together. Whether that be in the form of ice dams which occur every winter, log jams which happened periodically as the abutting towns were built, or traffic jams which occupy the island today. Originally hosting a toll bridge, the island eventually garnered statewide attention when an amusement park was built, hosting baseball games, a fair, and two presidential campaigns. A damn built just south of the island caused water levels to rise, and the island to shrink, eventually losing its park. Today the island lays void of any historical reference. The towns of Hinsdale, NH and Brattleboro, VT now plan to build a new highway connection over the River, and for the first time in almost a century, reopen the park to pedestrians as a shared public amenity.
LOG JAM STUDY I 9
10 I MASTER PLAN
CONNECTING TWO TOWNS Abstracting the form of a log jam, the paving pattern, planting, and site amenities now tell a story of how each town was built. It creates a sense of place, unique and recognizable to that of Island Park. This concept takes form in a few key places on the island: the North Prospect, the Jam Walk, and the Bridge itself. By carefully negotiating the existing topography and enhancing existing wetlands, park-goers are finally able to enjoy this shared resource once again.

JAM WALK The concept of a log jam is able to inform the shape of many program elements in the park. By highlighting this historical feature, the history of the island can be told in the larger context of building the two towns that it serves. Pictured below is the southernmost tip of the island. A boardwalk meanders through the site terminating in a wetland; highlighting the new water level that has risen over the years.

16 I INTRODUCTION
DESIGNING DURING A PANDEMIC The Office of Planning and Economic Development approached our studio to address the current condition of Downtown Springfield with innovated design solutions. My partner and I identified Worthington Street as a high priority area to focus resources immediately. Given its ability to connect Main Street with an area uptown with recent redevelopment interest, Worthington Street shows great promise of being a new commercial spine. Our challenge was to design a phased place based approach to tackle the issue of social distancing immediately with low cost targeted initiatives, and then follow with permanent infrastructural improvements. The sketch above was from our initial site visit, noting what was working with, and against, new COVID dining protocol.

20 I PHASES
Shown on the right is the transformation of the restaurant district from the current condition (top), phase one (middle), and phase two (bottom). What may be implemented as soon as tomorrow will inform and cement Worthington Streets place in Springfield as a social and economic spine.
PHASE 2
By employing a phased strategy, the city will be able to implement some of these design strategies immediately. The initial investment is low, however it's potential to generate revenue for the local businesses is huge. In the future, the Pop Up Paseo will be able to lay the groundwork for creating a pedestrian friendly street. Pictured on the left is 1600 Main street before and after phase one. What was an empty fenced off lot, now can act as a stage to empower local businesses, and host private and public events.

24 I INTRODUCTION
RHYTHM OF WAVES This private residence in Orleans came to be with the acquisition of five separate parcels near Weeset Point. By strategically positioning the main residence, great room, and pool terrace strategically in alignment with the ocean view shed, the vista is pulled through the house, over the pool, and back into the landscape. The landscape is set in waves that form a notable rhythm throughout the planting and program elements. Through the concept of rhythm the lines between the native landscape and the estate are blurred creating a strong sense of place and belonging in the Cape Cod landscape. The program consists of: 1. Entry Court + Barn 2. Tupelo Grove 3. Lawn Terrace 4. Main House
5. Pool House 6. Infinity Edge Pool 7. Meadow

DGLA
Dan Gordon Landscape Architects is an award winning residential design firm located in Wellesly, MA. My internship at DGLA began as a brief two week winter session between semesters at school. This session led to a summer internship at the height of a wold-wide pandemic. Working almost entirely remote, I collaborated on a variety of residential projects at all levels; schematic design, site analysis, DENCE construction documentation, and more.
GARTOW N M A -
The plan pictured is a schematic design and hand rendering which I was tasked to complete for a residence in Katama, Martha’s Vineyard. This internship gave me an invaluable exposure to working with a design team while at home during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.

STIMSON I 31
STIMSON Charbrook Farm is the modern homestead of Lauren and Stephen Stimson. The farm acts as a field station for the practical exploration of STIMSON Landscape Studio. As the nursery intern at STIMSON, my time was split between working in the nursery, farm, and studio. It was particularly inspiring to me to watch much of the nursery stock directly implemented on various STIMSON projects. This summer internship gave me valuable insight on native plant material and continues to inform much of my work today. ~

The barn pictured was my base of operations. Today, STIMSON is constructing their new studio building on the site that I helped prepare, and is using some of the very plants I helped grow. Providing an inspiring place to live and work for decades to follow.
EDGARTOWN WINTE
CURRENT WORK The plan shown is a schematic design for a family estate in Edgartown, MA. The design works with several existing structures and designates sites for future family homes and guest houses. Designed with college Stephen Rezendes and overseen by principal Dan Gordon. Rendering and post production was completed by myself independently in Dec. 2020.

HARKNESS TOWER SKETCH I 39
SKETCHING AS A WAY OF SEEING Sketching has served a valuable role in my pursuit to be a practitioner of the landscape. The process of drawing helps me further understand a building, object or landscape by honing in my attention and drawing each detail out of the subject and onto the paper.
