Citrus Ranch Park, Tustin, Calif.
The central design feature of Citrus Ranch Park consists of 950 lemon trees traversing a 40-foot high hilltop. The overall park design reinforces the citrus theme and reflects the historic significance of the agricultural commerce of the area.

Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center Expansion, Mission Viejo, Calif.
The expansion and renovation of the community center grounds included the creation of a new entryway, the Veterans Memorial Wall, a larger parking lot, multiuse turf fields and trails, creek and bioswales, outdoor terraces, cabanas, playground, fitness stations and mosaic-tile artworks.

Anaheim Convention Center/Entry Plaza Renovation, Anaheim, Calif.
The goal of this project was to transform the 1960’s Convention Center entryway into a 21st century, user-friendly pedestrian plaza. The renewed exterior architectural lighting gives the arena a new look, with an entry drive of textured, integral colored concrete, a center fountain, a new access gate and a security station.

San Joaquin Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary Campus, Irvine, Calif.
A group of historic Irvine ranch houses were relocated to provide a more functional campus-like atmosphere for educational programs and tours. The master plan incorporated sustainable design elements such as recycled composite materials for outdoor deck spaces, porches, ramps and site furniture. Sustainable practices included the use of recycled water; onsite containment of storm water runoff and conveyance of overflow storm water to adjacent settling ponds; decomposed granite pavement; a permeable gravel parking lot; and low-level lighting.
