kris tin p a rtlo w landscape architecture
About Me The landscape around us shapes who we are. It defines our day, our routes, and our activities. Whether I knew it or not, the built environment that I grew up in has impacted so much of the person I am today. I have always had a love for traveling and experiencing different plants, parks, and cultures. My fondness for the great outdoors started at such a young age and continues to grow as I experience new sites and places.

Through the appreciation of the spaces that surrounded me came a longing to create them. I began my journey to become a Landscape Architect after spending countless hours on campus at the University of Georgia. I would sit and ponder on how it was built, who thought of such a design, what plants surrounded me? This curiosity has led me to my now professional goals - to create spaces where people and nature are connected- to provide places to play and to laugh with friends, places to learn and to grow, places to sit and to ponder - to create places where creativity can begin. Above all, I desire to help and lead. I want to be able to create and build upon people’s dreams through the beauty of a landscape. I would love to be able to be a part of a motivated team that values teamwork and personability with each other and clients. Included in this portfolio is a range of educational and personal work I completed in my undergraduate degree at the University of Georgia in the College of Environment and Design.

Bigger Vision Remodel
A Homeless Shelter Outdoor Remodel Fall 2022 Studio Work Athens, Georgia A u t o C A D, S ke t c h U P, L u m i o n , P h o t o S h o p
Addressing the needs of the homeless community in Athens, Georgia has been a major concern for the Athens-Clark County community. One organization helping fight this concern is Bigger Vision, a local homeless shelter in north Athens. During semester, our team of Landscape Architecture students were given the opportunity to assist Bigger Vision in redesigning their outdoor landscape. Our alternative focuses on creating a vibrant yet relaxing environment for all who visit. Planting materials create a lush and bright frame work to complement as well as draw attention to the Bigger Vision facility. Additional seating as well as shade structures were added to increase relaxation opportunities. This redesign embodies Bigger Vision’s mission in creating a “safe and comfortable” environment for every individual.

UGA International Education Building A Proposed Planting Plan Fall 2020 Studio Work Athens, Ga AutoCAD, Hand Rendering
The International Education Building, located in the heart of the University of Georgia’s campus, was built years ago and last renovated in 2011. This building serves as the office for the Global Engagement department at the University. The office is seen by many as it sits on a street full of cars and pedestrians at all times of the day. As an assignment for our Planting Design Studio, we created a newer, more appealing outward design for the face of the building. Target goals included: creating greater curve appeal to the landscaping, using majority native plants, and creating a year-round planting plan.

La Vista - Kimley Horn Design Charrette A Proposed Community Park Spring 2022 Weekend Charrette Unknown City in Florida A u t o C A D, I l l u s t r a t o r, P r o c r e a t e Group Project
In January of 2022, the College of Environment and Design partnered with Kimley Horn Architects to conduct a fast pasted, engaging design charrette weekend. Students were placed into groups of 5 and given an unknown location to design. Requirements included but were not limited to site analysis, narratives, master plan, vignette drawings, plant list, materials list, and section drawings. Below are a few renderings from this project. I had various roles in this project. As one of few upper-classman, I had a lead role in administering work evenly across each member of our group and leading collaborative conversations in each part of the design process. I also created the playground scene within the park displayed below and was tasked with compiling all aspects into one final presentation. I am very grateful for this opportunity because it gave me a great look into the collaborative design process I was able to learn a great deal from the professional that came to assist us. Below is a rendering of the playground and to the right is a rendering of the final master plan.

Athens Avenue is a proposed neighborhood design located in south Athens, Georgia. This neighborhood was created within our Residential/Mixed Use Design Studio. The client presented their hopes and desires for their family’s property to be turned into a well designed, affordable community development.
