Early December Snapshot

Hello family and close friends!

This is a special edition post for just you, as this shouldn't be shared around too liberally. Many of you have asked about my new job. Though temporary, I'm still loving it. There are times when the workload is heavy, and other times when the clock seems to stand still. Of course, this is one of those moments, caught between tasks, when I must wait. Here is a small sample of what I've done this week, of course I picked the most colorful portion for your benefit!

For those of you who are strangers to landscape design, the process is cyclical. What you see here will not be the final design, and is actually quite conceptual. This sketch is a simple way to get ideas down on paper. Most likely, the client will never actually see this sketch. However, you might enjoy it, so here goes!


Imagine a 6-story building in the background, very tall especially for the area. It unfortunately allows no access to the walking path.  A major focus of designing this area is making the path feel human scale, alleviating the towering affect of a large-scale building.  Interactive spaces enhance community and make a place memorable.
