Built Work

Belo Center for New Media Austin, Texas

Located at a prominent corner of two arterial campus streets, the new building and 1.5 acre site for the College of Communication create a gateway between the campus and Austin’s dynamic west campus urban core. Programming of the new plaza provides opportunities for active and passive pedestrian uses including an entry plaza, café seating, concert performance space, outdoor classroom/amphitheater and indigenous gardens adjacent to pedestrian filled streetscapes. Inspired by past graduate of the College, Lady Bird Johnson, the design team and client were committed to the creation of urban wildlife habitat and using as little water as possible for the project. Air conditioning condensate and storm water are stored in three 9’diameter by 18’ tall cisterns and eliminate the need for landscape potable water use. The central spine of the project includes a water harvesting biofiltration fountain that cleans the harvested water while providing a place for human respite and social interaction under the new native mesquite bosque.

Bridle Path Residence Austin, Texas

The half-acre site was blessed with gorgeous old oaks, but presented several challenges: poor drainage; too much driveway, hardscape and lawn; no connection to the street and solid rock substrate in the courtyard. The large asphalt circle drive was removed and the front garden has been reclaimed for people rather than cars. Native limestone unearthed in the regrading of the back courtyard was used to create a terraced rainwater harvesting garden from the house down to the street filled with a vegetable garden and native understory trees, with contrasting textures of native plant masses that attract birds and butterflies. The new courtyard centers on a brimming concrete water trough in a gnarly grove of new native Possumhaw trees. The judicious hardscape consists of a palette of steel, pea gravel, concrete step pads and stabilized decomposed granite. The result is a permeable property that appeals to all of the senses and contributes to the wellness of its inhabitants and the neighborhood wildlife. The garden was featured in The Wall Street Journal, as well as books including Private Paradise and Tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden.

Pfluger Circle Austin, Texas

A major node on the Lady Bird Lake Trail, this harsh space was transformed into a green, terraced garden that serves as a new destination for trail users and a peaceful place to relax and meet friends. With the extension of the Pfluger Bridge over Cesar Chavez Street, this space will have increased use, visibility and importance. The concentric, stepped gardens soften the space with masses of colorful drought tolerant plants and a grove of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bubbaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Desert Willows. Stone seats and stabilized granite paving bring texture and form to complete the inner circle of the space. Size:

West Texas Ranch Marfa, Texas

Ten Eyck worked with the client and architect to define the outdoor spaces of an existing ranch house sited in the midst of a vast plain on a sloping site. Desert masonry retaining walls were used to define protected outdoor living space adjacent to the residence. The pool, located within the garden, is integrated into the retaining wall and brings users into the ground plane of the vast view to the south. Cast concrete, steel, local stone, and native planting created a cohesive design vocabulary that stands up to the stark West Texas climate. Taking a cue from existing pecan trees on site, an orchard of 6 pecan trees was designed to create shade in the garden by the house. Vehicular access was defined and old ranch roads were revegetated with native grasses and mesquites to create a fitting foreground for this West Texas retreat.

The Capri Marfa, Texas

The Capri is a concert hall and reception area for The Thunderbird Motel across the street, and a bar/hangout place immersed in the landscape of the West Texas high plains. Ten Eyck transitioned the architecture into the landscape with courtyard site walls made of rock-filled gabion baskets that define the space and lend a textural backdrop for outdoor events. A former parking lot was reclaimed as a west Texas beer garden with fire pits and granite gathering spaces perched on the edge of a native grass filled arroyo. A community organic garden is planned adjacent to an outdoor dining area for special parties. The space, which will accommodate 40 for a sit down dinner, is sheltered by a vine covered arbor. Rainwater through the site is celebrated with a trough that harvests storm water, spilling it into the native planted arroyo which feeds the community orchard. Size:

Data Ranch Austin, Texas

For this 21 acre computer data center, Ten Eyck developed a Texas ranch inspired landscape that builds off a palette of native plants and stone but places them in a more refined, urban framework. Curving, planted terraces and limestone seatwalls at the building entry provide employee lunch and gathering spaces shaded by a canopy of oak, mesquite and other trees. Larger planted areas further from the building have been restored with native grassland vegetation.

Mill Creek Ranch Vanderpool, Texas

A new ranch home, barn and ranch managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house (Lake | Flato Architects) comprise our scope on this 1,800 acre ranch near Vanderpool, Texas. The new home sits adjacent to a spectacular bald cypress lined spring and a creek. We designed the landscape in a way to create a seamless link from the architecture to the site by continuing the same hardscape ground plane from the interior into the outdoor spaces, and through revegetation using riparian species. Stormwaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path through the site is celebrated by running it through cleansing riparian gardens and check dams prior to entering the creek. An organic orchard and vegetable garden in radiating beds from the striking new barn is planned with outdoor spaces for picnics to enjoy the commanding views.

Underwood Family Sonoran Landscape Laboratory College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture University of Arizona

Tucson, Arizona

The Sonoran Landscape Laboratory at the College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (CALA) is a high performance landscape functioning as both an outdoor classroom and an entry plaza. It exemplifies the sustainable strategies of water harvesting, climate regulation, air and water cleansing, recycling, urban wildlife habitat, and human well being. The former grayfield is now a thriving habitat that shades the southern exposure of the new building with a vine covered scrim. An 11,000-gallon tank collects water produced by the building to support the native garden, eliminating the need for potable water resulting in a completely self-sustaining landscape, rare in such an inhospitable and unique environment as the desert southwest.

Polytechnic Campus Arizona State University Mesa, Arizona

This 18 acre site of a former air force base has been transformed into a desert garden oasis of learning. Ten Eyck’s work included the creation of exterior classrooms, campus malls, courtyards, walkways and gardens. Prior flooding problems became an asset and inspiration with the new landscape architectural treatment of the site. Each courtyard, mall, and path is an experience of walking where ephemeral storm water flows in all of its forms – tinajas, seeps, ephemeral arroyos and man-made canals – and the rich plant communities that typically grow in these habitats.

Chaparral Park Scottsdale, Arizona

Ten Eyck Landscape Architects was responsible for master planning through construction documentation of landscape architectural elements of this 15 acre site in the floodplain of Indian Bend Wash in Scottsdale. The program for the site was 2 ball fields, a 4 acre dog park, a xeriscape garden and the associated landscape of the new Scottsdale Water Treatment facility. Ten Eyck located the ball fields and dog park in the floodplain and built the xeriscape garden into a series of terraces up the embankment to an adjacent neighborhood. A system of water harvesting methods deliver water to the landscape terraces by way of swales and stepped gardens. A network of paths and trails for biking and walking meander through the project and lead park users to activity in various types of garden spaces for viewing the adjacent dog park or native birds and butterflies and colorful planting in the xeriscape garden.

Steele Indian School Park Phoenix, Arizona

Ten Eyck was the lead designer for the project team of this new park constructed on the historic Phoenix Indian School site—an innovative design that included Native American and Phoenix citizens in the process. Such innovations include: the Circle of Life promenade around three existing historic buildings with custom designed interpretive columns that speak of the history of the school; fountains unify the site comprising its central spine, and help make living in the desert bearable; a sunken, spiral front-entry garden made of recycled concrete slabs from the school where the children once walked– a modern-day labyrinth where many urban dwellers go each day, descending into one of the only downtown/uptown desert gardens. Canal water is transported through the site via a treelined sub-canal recalling the old Phoenix that in the early 1900s was known as the ‘City of Gardens’. The lakes are filled with the canal water and then used for irrigating the site. Size:

‘Habitat’ at Phoenix Convention Center Phoenix, Arizona

As part of the larger Convention Center project Ten Eyck designed a lush oasis of vegetation to give visitors the experience of a living canyon seep garden in downtown Phoenix. Fed by the condensate of the air conditioning system, this wall of soil and stone produces a verdant, vertical garden of native plants common to canyons in the Sonoran desert. Artist Tom Otterness created sculptures ‘Social Invertebrates’ that live in the plaza and over look a water harvesting garden created to gather the condensate and rain water, recalling the ancient mesquite bosque and Hohokham village that was discovered by archeologists in the excavation for the convention center. The Arts Commission and the city of Phoenix water department decided to fund Habitat as an arts project–thus helping our underfunded larger Convention Center site budget.

The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona

The Biodesign institute is a state of the art facility in the fields of biology, bioengineering, and nanosystems sciences for ASU. Ten Eyckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work included landscape architectural master planning, design of a new east entry to the campus, and design of outdoor spaces for lectures, learning, and social gatherings. Ten Eyck designed a new streetscape, new sloping entry plazas along with an amphitheater nestled in a water harvesting garden next to the future site of a conference center. The planting design was inspired by the bajada and riparian biomes of the Sonoran desert and creates a shady respite for outdoor events in an urban context. Size:

808 East Osborn Phoenix, Arizona

Before Ten Eyck recycled and renovated this 5,000 SF office building in Central Phoenix (Ten Eyck landscape architectureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office), the site was covered in asphalt and the building was painted white and had very few windows. Ten Eyckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision was for the building and site to demonstrate the company mantra of connecting the urban dweller to nature. The exterior of the 1968 building was sandblasted and a wire mesh scrim added. A new overhang in the front marks a transitional space to the entry. Ten Eyck used recycled computer floor for the front entry deck and stairs and stabilized decomposed granite walkways and parking bays. The design also incorporated a porous parking lot for the building with perforated pavers and recycled broken concrete for an employee patio in the atrium courtyard. Planting is native and low water use and features a mesquite bosque, deergrass and blue gramma grasses.

The University of Texas at El Paso Campus Transformation El Paso, Texas

The University of Texas at El Paso campus is being transformed from a vehicular campus to a pedestrian friendly environment connected to the west Texas region. The removal of asphalt streets and parking lots will allow new shaded campus malls, pathways, open space, and arroyo gardens through the middle of campus. Shaded bicycle and pedestrian pathways connect new and old plazas with larger event terraces and amphitheaters. Bridges, overlooks, and hiking trails provide access to the local Chihuahuan desert wildlife and ecology. New entry gateways improve connections to the campusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greater urban fabric. Six areas were developed to a concept design level for fundraising: Centennial Commons A new central oval green is surrounded by a generous paseo shaded by groves of native Mesquites. Leech Grove A stepped stage frames the desert garden knoll beyond. A central brimming fountain surrounded by lawn can be turned off to double as another stage. Eastern Gateway New tree lined bridge and shade structure will cross the arroyo and provide a new eastern threshold to the campus. The Arroyo The arroyo will become a navigable part of the campus with bridges, overlooks, bike and pedestrian trails. Miner Canyon This current concrete jungle will be retrofitted into a shaded gathering space with the microclimate of a desert canyon. Old Main The historic building will connect to a welcoming pedestrian forecourt, fountain, and green terrace beyond. Geology Green A re-graded oval lawn will improve connections to the geology building. A bridge over the new water harvesting arroyo will link the green to Centennial Commons to the east. The project is currently under construction.

San Antonio Federal Courthouse San Antonio, Texas

The design of the San Antonio courthouse endeavors to showcase the Federal Judicial Process while instilling a sense of civic pride by providing a dignified architectural landmark that captures the cultural spirit of San Antonio through its use of vernacular materials and aesthetics. The building rises five feet above street level and rests upon a landscaped plinth of native plantings that reference the agrarian history of the site. Recalling the irrigation channels derived by the earliest Spanish inhabitants of San Antonio, an irrigation acequia gently wraps around the north and east sides of the courthouse. Visitors enter the building via the northwest corner of the site through a large tree covered plaza that allows for community gatherings, as well as reinforces the Courthouse as part of a larger civic district which includes the nearby Bexar County Justice Center and Courthouse. The historic Camino Real is identified through the site with textural stone paving that interprets the history of the Camino Real and this area of San Antonio. An interior courtyard accommodates 500 people for an event. The ground plane is textured stone paving that is flanked by brimming water tables that convey harvested water from the building to the riparian Texas plants one would find in a Texas canyon. Water harvested from the building makes its way eastward through filtering retention gardens cleanse the water prior to entry to San Pedro Creek which will be unleashed from its concrete ditch into a more natural creek restoration. The project is currently in the concept stage.

Parkland Hospital Dallas, Texas

Ten Eyck is currently working with a multidisciplinary team on the site development for the 65 acre new Parkland Hospital. The new Parkland Hospital will be a safe, welcoming, patient centered healing environment that serves as a sustainable community resource for Dallas County. The hospital and site design will promote excellence in clinical care, teaching and research in a technologically advanced, easily accessible environment. Design responsibilities include perimeter streetscape, parking gardens, entrance plazas, wellness gardens, courtyards, green roofs, linear parks and exterior meditation and exercise paths. The multi-sensory, native landscape will weave through the project, harvesting and conveying stormwater in bioswales throughout various courtyards, gardens and parks of the hospital site. The patients, their families, and the hospital staff will be comforted by restorative gardens that connect them with nature and an urban landscape that melds the hospital with the surrounding context.

Texas French Bread Austin, Texas

The Texas French Bread dining terrace is a shaded outdoor garden for restaurant patrons. The design includes a vine covered shade structure, brimming water feature, concrete and stone walls, rain gardens, and drought tolerant fruiting plants, grasses and shade trees. Nestled under a heritage live oak, the design includes open graded gravel courses with underground aeration and irrigation systems to maintain overall tree health. The dining terrace is open both day and night and accommodates special culinary events throughout the year.

Main St. Hotel

Fredericksburg, Texas The Main St. Hotel project is a new boutique hotel project in Fredericksburg, TX. The site is located on the edge of the Historic Downtown Shopping District and Town Creek. The landscape and architectural designs respond to this historical context through the use of materials, scale, and programming. The hotel entrance is set back from the street in a courtyard space along the central access breezeway formed by an existing heritage live oak tree, and the responding building form. Limestone paving, vine covered walls, and an open pivot gate invite one into this semi-public space, while a tranquil harvested water feature and runnel leads one to the hotel entrance.

The pool terrace serves as a place of respite for hotel guests with views to the hill country framed by a large vine covered arbor with outdoor kitchen/bar venue space.

CAFE

E. MAIN STREET

A series of mixed use, restaurant and retail spaces capture the Main Street frontage, with a generous outdoor cafe area set under the existing live oak tree, and covered walks with vine plantings which provide a buffer to on-street parking areas. In contrast, the Austin Streetscape and entry provide a much more secluded, exclusive entrance experience. Crossing a stone bridge and creek restoration area, with future bike and hike trail access, and stepped vegetated walls for erosion control, water cleansing, and habitat creation, visitors enter into tree line parking gardens, and a vine covered parking court with a stepped runnel water feature.

Hill Country Resort Texas Hill Country, Texas

Ten Eyck developed a conceptual master plan for the 180 acre resort site in the Texas hill country. Work included siting of a restaurant, spa, boutique hotel, terraced gardens and vineyards, water systems and features, and residential casitas integrated with the natural surroundings. Architectural, environmental and engineering consultants where brought on board by Ten Eyck to produce a comprehensive master plan that is currently undergoing cost estimating. The site has many environmental challenges including steep topography, lack of existing utilities, remote location and eroded soils. Ten Eyckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design includes sustainable approaches to onsite water reuse and ecological land management.
