This project was for a new student housing area on University of virginia's main campus. Having a cultural and planning history founded in Jeffersonian design, the new work required an architectural relationship with Jefferson's historical lawn. This new plan showed bar buildings flanking a series of 3 lawn areas.

The buildings were located strategically with steeply sloped topography.Nested within each set of groomed landscape were the community buildings; a library and cafeteria. The existing campus infrastructure, the roads and sidewalks, were woven into the site leaving convenient access points and maintaining pedestrian safety.

• Shaping urban plan with landscape
• Integration with existing topography
• community centers
• Walking paths
