Landscape Elements, LLC was part of a team of professionals including consulting architects, civil engineers and wetland specialists working collaboratively in the preparation of master plans for two camp properties owned and operated by the Ocean Community YMCA. This YMCA provides recreational facilities and programs for the geographic area encompassing southwestern Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. Both camp properties, are located on the east side of Watchaug Pond in Charlestown, Rhode Island.
The initial phases of work involved extensive site analysis and on-site evaluations with consultants and YMCA staff. The site analysis has emphasized preservation and enhancement of natural site features including forested wetlands, pine and oak forests and areas of steep slopes and rock outcrops. Coastal and freshwater wetland areas were delineated and identified for preservation and future interpretive educational trails. The design focused on using low-impact development techniques and sustainable design practices. » Back to Case Studies |
