Pacific Center Campus
San Diego
Designed with assistance from LandLAB environmental design, and the winner of the 2018 ASLA California Southern Honor Award, the Pacific Center Campus Development demonstrates how landscape architecture can lead and enrich the evolution of campus design by melding active campus design ideas and innovative workplace strategies with native plant ecosystems, innovative water strategies, and the productivity and health benefits of being surrounded by nature. The project showcases a number of highly visible sustainable water strategies in ways that highlight their relationships to native ecosystems, utilizing native canyon and desert plant palettes, intensive green roofs, and infiltration strategies that capture and cleanse hardscape runoff. Throughout this project is an interpretation of the local canyon and coastal sage landscapes, but also a finely tuned response to the unique ecotones created by building placement, programmatic needs, and the idiosyncrasies and chance opportunities of a campus evolving over time.

Keeler Court Apartments
San Diego
These apartments include two 4-story buildings connected with exterior bridges. The design allows the minimization of solar heat gain to the units, allows views, and promotes natural ventilation. The project includes a manager's unit, laundry room, multi-purpose room, bicycle storage, accessible exterior circulation, on-grade covered and open parking, and common landscape, hardscape, and family areas. The design is registered for Green Point Certification. The composition and finishes of the building facade work in tandem with the landscape design to create an integrated, high-performance, and welcoming environment for the residents.
