Construction Documents Studio
This project is for a local Presbyterian Church that is converting half their property to Student housing. Our charge is to take a conceptual design and refine it then develop a set of construction documents. I am working in collaboration with a classmate to design this site, our "firm" name is Bassett Sterle Landscape Architects (BSLA). We just wrapped up the design phase and now we are moving deeper into the details of how to build each element we designed.
The Site Plan
As a group we took CAD drawings from the architect, customized them and laid out our design all in Auto CAD. I was in charge of designing the two courtyards to the right, and rendering of this plan.
Sketch Up and Hand Renderings
These images were composed with a model that was collaboratively built by BSLA. I then used scenes and perspectives from this to hand render a proposed planting and material feel.
This illustrates the major transition from the larger courtyard in the West into the smaller courtyards. This is also a transition from areas connected to the church buildings into student housing areas.
The northern courtyard design focuses on creating a softer edge to the buildings and places for students outside.
In the Southern Courtyard, the focus is more on circulation and a central water feature
Thank you!
