S t u d i o 3 6 1 H a l l b e r g R e s i d e n c e Issue: The project required that the family be able to entertain 40 people, outdoors, at one time. The existing Spanish colonial tile and retaining wall, as well as outdated planting did not fit with the contemporary tastes of the owners Solution: A newly engineered retaining wall adapts to the grade change of the space, four floating concrete pads connected with StepStones速 allow for two ten top tables, as well as two more on the newly refinished covered patio. Desert planting and nuanced color appeal to the contemporary tastes of the owner Role: Client interaction, design, construction documenting, retaining wall engineering, construction management, planting/irrigation installation, problem solving

Issue: The side yard of this downtown condo is less than 100 sq. ft. and was a blank slate, described as “the prison yard.� Making use of the small space for a multitude of activities all while making it feel inviting and spacious was the challenge Solution: Floating concrete pads provide a space to lounge while complementing the contemporary nature of the condo. The custom metal planters allow for ample vegetable gardening in this small space. Faux turf provides a great doggy area and Mexican beach pebble detailing creates continuity throughout the space Role: Client interaction, design, construction management, installation of rock, irrigation, faux turf and dog step

A r i z o n a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y P y r e n e a n S t o n e s Issue: The sculptures were donated to the University from the Hollis family and placed in a location without any landscaping. Currently, many ASU facilities employees, staff and students park and walk through the space which poses an issue for the safety of the artwork. The landscape design had to prevent this while mimicking the desert feel of its previous location at the Hollis’ home and complementing the adjacent desert landscaping Solution: Simple layering of desert adaptive plants complement the existing tree and, along with boulders, will prevent students and staff from parking and traveling through the space potentially damaging the sculptures. Sculptural agaves provide a contemporary feel while soft grasses add movement Role: Landscape design, rendering, construction estimating

A r i z o n a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y N e l s o n F i n e A r t s C e n t e r Issue: Frontage on to Mill avenue makes this space a highly visible area of campus that has had minimal landscaping since its conception. Grading and drainage issues also create an eyesore. There is no procession to and from the frontage area along Mill Avenue, the existing pots near the building are not irrigated and hard to maintain. Solution: The key to creating a SHPO approved landscape is maintaining the views to the building and using desert adaptive materials to avoid a total irrigation remodel. A new promenade was added to reach out to Mill Avenue and sculptural plant elements have been added to alleviate maintenance woes and reduce water use. Role: Design, rendering, estimating

A r i z o n a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y B o o k s t o r e U m b r e l l a s Issue: The bookstore on the Tempe Campus purchased two large umbrellas to place somewhere adjacent to their building, our office was notified after the fact and asked to fit the umbrellas, that were far to large in scale, into this space. The challenge was in matching existing grades on adjacent sidewalks and accommodating an existing tunnel and lid. Solution: The area was surveyed and the difficult grades were observed, in order to accommodate the different grades and various obstacles pavers were chosen. In order to accommodate the large umbrellas we had to stack them so those grades had to be kept in mind as well. The patio is now well activated and highly used. Role: Surveying, design, construction documents

A r i z o n a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y H a l l e G a r d e n R e n n o v a t i o n Issue: The existing sunken garden required renovation as work was being completed on ISTB4, a new science building and Air Apparent, a sculpture by James Turrell at the eastern gateway to the Tempe campus Solution: New plant types, better adapted to the now mature landscape, were massed in keeping with the original intent of the garden but also to add new, nuanced color to the space. Different heights and colors of plants will add new dimension to the garden and fit with it’s now shady climate because of a canopy of mature trees. Role: Plan compiling, irrigation inventory, plant inventory, plant research, planting massing, estimating, in field plant placement, installation oversight.

A r i z o n a S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y S i t e F u r n i t u r e R e p l a c e m e n t Issue: The existing site furniture on the Tempe campus dated back to 1985 and was still in use. The furniture was in disrepair and the placement and condition proved very unappealing. Solution: Much study was done to determine what type of furniture people would enjoy and what would hold up in our intense climate. All furniture on campus then had to be inventoried. Extensive diagraming, inventorying, and budgeting were involved. The project was so large that phasing had to be implemented. Within each phase construction documents had to be done for each piece of furniture. There has been a noted increase in use since the installation of the furniture. Role: Inventory, construction documents, estimating, installation oversight

Many pedestrians have registered complaints with the President’s office and the initial reaction was to ban bikes on campus, our office took over to find a more plausible solution Solution: Extensive survey of the malls was our first step, we physically counted the amount of people using various types of transportation. Then, we organized a physical count of bikes on campus using student volunteers. We now have a good idea of what types of transportation are used on campus, and where and how to better protect students by creating “no wheel” areas. Role: inventory, data aggregation, diagraming

Issue: Desert Passage was previously planned and designed by firm competing with AndersonBaron. The client was unhappy with the was the development was performing from a landscape point of view so AndersonBaron was asked to master plan solutions to remedy the issues. Solution: We worked to develop new marketing trails for the client and discussed solutions on how to improve access to them. Open space and wash areas were master planned as community amenities and infrastructure was slated to be improved so that the landscape could be maintained in a more efficient manner. Project details were also revised to enhance the entrances and pool areas of the project to provide better aesthetics for residents and visitors. Role: Plan rendering, Photoshop of detail revisions, presentation materials.

Issue: A large scale master planned development in Las Vegas, Nevada, Inspirada required an extensive signage and wayfinding effort to help potential buyers navigate the amenities, home styles, prices ranges and developers. Solution: AndersonBaron took on the project from both a master planning and environmental graphics angle. The layout and placement of signs, their content and design aesthetic were all done in house. The project required detailed renderings, master plan documents, and cost estimating to convey to the client and various developers that signange and marketing were being distributed with equal weight and clarity to best help the client make the project a success and allow developers to convey needed information. Role: Plan rendering, Photoshop of detail revisions, presentation materials.

S m i t h g r o u p J J R S a i n t X a v i e r U n i v e r s i t y Issue: Saint Xavier University, based in Chicago, Illinois, has commissioned a satellite campus in Gilbert, Arizona. SmithgroupJJR was commissioned for Landscape, Architecture, Irrigation and Engineering to create an integrated project which will be a centerpiece in downtown Gilbert. Solution: The site posed some unique challenges such as subtle, but misplaced grade change that needed to be incorporated along the street-front. Retaining walls and street parking as well as large trees help to continue the feeling of “Main Street� in front of the building which allows for it to integrate well into the downtown. A quad, outdoor classroom, terrace garden and outdoor seating make the most of the sunny, dry weather of the Phoenix Metro area. Role: Sketchup modeling, Photoshop, Fotosketcher

Issue: The City of Phoenix and Sky Harbor Airport is seeking to update their outdated second tier terminal. This small terminal with limited windows was not attractive to travelers and outdoor space, now required by the FAA was nonexistent. Solution: SmithgroupJJR working with other local architecture firms in taking a team based approach to designing the new terminal as a multi-phased project. The FAA requires outdoor space at the terminals for both human and animal relief. The area to the west of the terminal contains a desert demonstration garden with a bridge overlooking it, large desert specimen plants as well as a pet relief area and integrated safety features such as grade change and site furniture. Role: Sketchup modeling, Vray and Photoshop.
