The Orchid Show: Brazilian Modern
Bronx, New York

"Brazilian Modern,” was designed to display orchids in the spirit and tropical vibrancy of modern Brazil.  Within a controlled environment, for a fixed duration of time, more than 8,000 orchids were theatrically displayed, dripping like candelabras, clinging to walls, and abounding with blooms.  Vibrantly color-blocked living orchid walls, epiphytic orchid structures, and signature Roberto Burle Marx-inspired cubist planters were designed to embellish Brazilian Modern, using plants as art, in a museum of living things.

Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute
at Lake Nona 
Orlando, Florida

The site planning and landscape design of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute demonstrates the important role that Landscape Architects have in achieving Gold LEED certification and the ability to significantly reduce water consumption and promote low impact development. This integrated design approach creates a more natural system of low impact bio-swales that help to treat and retain more water on-site, provide future habitat and food sources for wildlife and reduce off-site nutrient loading. It also illustrates the benefits to the public of implementing the principles of ‘Florida Friendly’ landscaping and water wise irrigation for a major public institutional project of worldwide significance.

The Davids Garden
Treasure Cay, Abaco, Bahamas

The Davids garden is an imaginative study on what can be planted in the toughest of Bahamian beachfront elements.  Water creates linkage within the landscape, by lapping the sea lavender-draped shoreline, spilling from the infinity edge pool and reflecting the sculpted overhanging rock formations of the entry garden streams. The Landscape Architect utilized the entire site as well as the borrowed beachfront landscape to create a visual and an auditory garden dialogue.

Majestic Oak: A TND Community

Preservation of the existing majestic live oaks, relic phosphorous pit and the utilization of unique topographical characteristics of the site were foremost.  The community is designed around stormwater efficiency while also incorporating functionality to create a sinuous weaving of nature and civilization.  Accepting diverse demographical housing types and offering a multitude of available social interactions create a strong sense of place and a very livable community.

Toscana Model
Miromar Lakes, Florida

This beautiful "California-Mission” style home was transformed into a creatively designed landscape with interactive courtyards and living spaces with views of a 700 acre lake. Upon entering the driveway, tailored, asymmetrical planters and flanking walls set the scale for this patterned, "work of art” pavement area. The outdoor dining area incorporates an outdoor fire place, overhead trellis system, and adequate plant material to accomplish the privacy needed next to the adjacent two-story neighbor’s home. A raised grass terrace completes the waterfront setting with a destination point for lounging or to observe maximum views from the property.

Valletta Waterfront
Valletta, Malta

The Valletta Waterfront development conserved a 500-year-old waterfront in the Grand Harbour in Valletta while helping the country of Malta capture a larger share of the tourism market. The landscape architect’s design contributions and ability to understand global cultures resulted in a revitalized and vibrant waterfront that enhanced the local’s quality of life, while also increasing cruise ship tourism by nearly 500%. In doing so the historical value of the environment was enhanced.
