ST.
JOSEPH CONFERENCE CENTER - MASTER PLAN
Client : The
Sisters of the Congregation of St. Joseph
Location : Cleveland, Ohio  |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
We
served as prime design consultant and contractor for
the implementation of a long-term master plan that seeks
to support active and passive recreation on this lovely
site of mature woods and dramatic topography on the
bluffs of Rocky River. A new trail system connects a
series of places that engage the participant.
· Celebrate sacred
space within the shady womb of the Memorial Ellipse.
· See, touch, and smell a variety of herbs and
perennials amidst cool splashes of the Welcome Fountain.
· Stroll along the bluff and through the locusts
savannah in the Deer Meadow
· Plant and nurture vegetables in the Congregation
Vegetable Garden.
· Journey along the spiral Cosmic Walk contemplating
nature's fundamental and universal elements of unbroken
sky, sinuous earth forms and eternal wind.

OBERLIN
COLLEGE STUDENT HOUSING - MASTER PLAN
Client:
Oberlin
College Location:
Oberlin, Ohio
----------------------------------------------------
Our design focuses on a native
tall grass and forbs meadow designed to transform a
dull storm water detention area into a lively wildscape
that supports songbirds and insects, restores disturbed
soil and slows storm runoff. A clearing in the meadow
offers places to pause, stroll and gather. We provide
native trees and shrubs, including extensive use of
disease resistant American Elms.
