TxDOT Lubbock DHQ Lubbock, TX TxDOT sought zero water run-off which was addressed through native adapted plants and drip irrigation. An integrated ADA ramp accented with native adaptive plantings was used to amend the lack of ADA accessibility to the East. Programs Used: Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk Inventor, LandF/X, Lumion 8.5, Photoshop
Integrated Accessible Ramp
ADA Accessibility
An integrated ADA ramp accented with native adaptive plantings was used to amend the lack of ADA accessibility to the East. The new ramp acts as a focal point for employees as they arrive to work.
Connectivity
Currently there are 2 sitting areas for the employees of TxDOT. With the addition of 4 new sitting areas, the employees can spend time outside with each other and take a break from the computers.

Sustainability
Being a role model for efficiency and caring for the environment, all of the furniture proposed for the site is the Equiparc Collection 25, which is 100% recyclable.
With materials exposed to the harsh West Texas weather, recyclable materials and cedar for structures was used. All of the site furniture that is called out is 100% recyclable material with a powder coat that does not store heat and burn employees. With four new sitting areas, employees have plenty of spaces to get away from their computers.

Water Conservation
By using native adaptive plants and drip irrigation, TxDOT is able to conserve water and reduce annual costs. Using a bioswale and sloping some of the turf beds, TxDOT is able to capture storm water and reuse it.
Irrigation Plan Designed a 54 zone hybrid drip/mp rotor irrigation system to maximize efficiency and minimize water use to complement a water-wise design in a semi-arid region.

Ranch House on the Lake Ransom Canyon, TX The Ranch House on the Lake required an updated design that will attract neighborhood residents, especially teenagers that will be using the site. One of the many functions of the Ranch House is to serve as a wedding venue throughout the year. The Home Owners Association wanted to rejuvenate the site by using native plants and hardscape materials to reduce costs while increasing the native wildlife. Other desired elements include noise, wind, and shade barriers to increase the usability of the site. Programs Used: Autodesk Civil 3D, Lumion 7, SketchUp Pro, Photoshop
