Champlain College Dorms
T.J. Boyle Associates, LLC was the consultant to Colin Lindberg Architects for the courtyard/entry design, assisted with site grading, planting design and exterior lighting design of the new dorms at 304-306 Maple St at Champlain College. Site features include designing and detailing the hardscape and planting materials, siting the sidewalks and ramps leading to the buildings and running photometric models to design appropriate exterior site lighting. -
The Hope Lodge
The Hope Lodge is located near the Fletcher Allen hospital in Burlington, Vermont. Meditation and reflection is offered in a sun dial garden, where a vertical granite stone acts as a sun dial casting its time across the contemplative space. Panton stone walls and perennial beds throughout the site will be maintained by Cancer Society volunteers, and many donations were collected to help procure the various site furnishings and perennials. -
Trinity Episcopal Church Memorial Garden
This memorial garden in Rutland, Vermont is part of a master plan for site improvements including revised parking and lighting and Siliski Park. The memorial garden is located on the east side of the grey stone church away from pedestrian circulation. It is approximately 70x70 with cremains located in a circular grass panel as the organizing element of the space. It is surrounded by a gated steel fence, hedges and plantings that focus inward. The gateway entrance focuses on a trinity cross at the opposite end of the circle. To accommodate the increased number of burials and to commemorate the deceased, their names are engraved on granite stones ringing the inside of the walkway. -
Nightingale Skilled Nursing Facility Concepts
Courtyard concept sketches were prepared for Morris-Switzer Architects for prototype facilities to be located in St. Albans, Vermont and Framingham, Mass. Among the suggestions were extending the building walls with a decorative wood fence; adding a screened covered porch to provide shade and allow for the open area to have fewer shade trees and more flowering trees and gardens. Raised planters and structures provide articulation to the simple rectangular space, and a simple water bubbler near the porch entry to provide interest from inside and out.
