Mohegan Sun Casino and Hotel Uncasville, Connecticut Client: Mohegan Tribal Authority Architects: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and The Rockwell Group The Mohegan Sun Casino underwent a spectacular $1 billion expansion. Along with the opening of a new casino, retail complex, and entertainment venues, the resort added 1,200 hotel rooms, meeting and convention space, and spa facilities. The planning and landscape design approach re-establishes the site's indigenous landscape. Mixed native and ornamental plantings are set in contrast to abstract interpretations of tribal lore and culture providing a memorable arrival experience for guests and visitors. Tribal symbols and forms are evoked in earthworks, stone groups and plant selections to create distinct transitions from the native forest. Arriving guests enter a great tribal circle, at the entrance to the Casino of the Sky. Formed as an earthen bowl, the circle is defined by 13 rock formations marking the path of the moon across the sky. The bowl is punctuated by the "Tree of Life‚" symbolic of the tribe's creation story. Ornamental and native plants were selected based on aesthetics and their use by the Mohegan tribe for spiritual, medicinal and domestic purposes.

Yankee Stadium Community Parks Master Plan Bronx, New York Client: New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) The grandest of its time, Yankee Stadium was viewed as the "Cathedral of Baseball," having seen 26 World Series championships and 38 league pennants – more success than any other major sports franchise in the world. A new stadium was built across the street. With the construction of the new Stadium north of 161st Street, the designers were challenged to replace lost community park facilities while accommodating stadium transportation and parking facilities. The approach sought to provide the Bronx community with enhanced recreation facilities on a one-for-one replacement basis. The former Yankee Stadium site will be converted to the "Heritage Park‚" ball field complex. A track, field turf multi-purposed filed, ball courts and children's play grounds are constructed to conceal stadium parking. Enhanced streetscapes will connect the community through the redeveloped Bronx Terminal Market to a new waterfront park and tennis center on the Harlem River.

Lyndhurst Recreation Complex Lyndhurst, New Jersey Client: EnCap Golf LLC Architect: Sowinski Sullivan Architects Design services for the Lyndhurst Recreation Complex were provided to replace fields displaced during closing of the Lyndhurst landfills. Past landfill operations dictated the placement of an earthen cap and leachate collection system as a part of the remediation. An existing bus service building was renovated and redesigned to house indoor recreation, office, and meeting space. Façade improvements and surrounding landscaping will transformed its current appearance as a bus service station. Parking for 170 cars serves the recreation building, concessions and the athletic fields. Active recreation facilities include a baseball field, two softball fields and a soccer/football field. A path system leads visitors past a series of overlooks, naturalized landscape areas and to ballfields from the adjoining neighborhood. The overlooks take advantage of the cliffs and steep slopes to provide a unique vantage point for ball game spectators as well as panoramic views of the surrounding area and the New York skyline beyond.
