Pulaski Park : Northampton, MA
Pulaski Park was once a vibrant place to visit, over the years lack of attention turned the park into a dark and unpleasant site. Less
people visited the park, it was time for a change. Creating a large green space opened up the park, and a more structured pathway
system brought people into the park and to there destination.

Hand Drawn Master Plan
Multi Family Housing; Amherst, MA
This multi- family housing project was located on a 20 acre parcel of land. Housing density was six units per acre, or about
120 units total. Accommodations included parking for every unit, community space as well as private garden spaces and a
functional form utilizing the existing grade. The project also explored sustainable housing units and plans forstorm water
management for the entire site.

Section BB/ Hand Drawn
Multi Family Housing, Amherst, MA
Section AA zooms in on how certain houses need to be built in order to maintain a sustainable development, balancing the max
number of units and open space. Section BB cuts through the entire site, it was important to sit the houses on level ground, using
the flat topology to the developments advantage.

Masterplan of the Arc of Recreation shows in red my focus areas and in yellow the abandoned railway. Alternate routes, using
streets as corridors provides pedestrians with quicker and easier access to the their destinations in town and along the railway.

Arc of Recreation; Springfield, MA
Elementary schools need space for children, carefully repositioning the parking lot, not losing any parking spaces made room for
interactive spaces (2). Landform and grids of trees (1) create a lively play area for kids, as well as a strong connection to the Bay
Neighborhood and school.

7. Sections
AutoCad
Section AA cuts through the schools community gardens, here students and families can grow a variety of plants. Section
BB shows the entire school grounds, including the railway and interactive chess board for the children.

8. Construction Details

Construction details show how certain design features and structures should be built.

3D modeling can be useful when conveying design ideas and plans for the site. Image 1 depicts the interactive chess board and
concrete walls for public art. Image 2 shows playful landform meant to create a fun and interesting space for kids to walk through
when going to school.

Night and Day View of Plaza
High Street; Maidstone, UK
A group design competition strongly incorporating sustainable practice. High Street was becoming a very active place to
shop and eat, the high vehicular and pedestrian traffic infringed upon the potential High Street offered. Limiting vehicular
access through the street opened up space for plaza’s and street boutiques. Paving the boutique floors with the Power Leap
allows for a more sustainable approach to shopping. Creating out concept, “Boutique Ingenuity.

One of our design boards pin pointing our design features with typologies along the masterplan. As seen in the masterplan,
limiting vehicular access opens up the street for colorful boutiques and plazas for shopping, eating and interactive learning (1).
