Snowdrops (Galanthus) can be spotted at Wheaton’s Adam’s Park where they are brightening the last cloudy days of winter. This little bulb flower likes a bit of shade and as such works great in leaf litter under trees. Even though they will walk into lawn areas over time they are not considered an invasive plant. Upland Design assisted with a recent update to this well-loved town-center park.
Upland Design recently assisted the Geneva Public Library with a new garden on the north side of their building. They are now seeking an artist to create a permanent sculpture for its Memorial Garden space. The sculpture can be enjoyed from multiple vantage points where it will be installed surrounded by plantings and lighting.
Help us welcome Mia Ochoa to the Upland Team! Mia received a Bachelor's in Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois. She attended the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences where she studied Horticulture for two years and began to see a future for herself in landscape architecture. Outside of work she enjoys painting, fashion, and hiking.
Upland Design recently planned and detailed one of Chicago’s first alley-to-plaza streetscape projects. It is located across from Jefferson Park neighborhood’s transit station on Milwaukee. At just 14’ across, this narrow-underused space has been updated to a pedestrian-friendly plaza. Community input kicked off this Chicago Department of Transportation project with numerous stakeholder meetings. Neighbors and business owners gathered at nearby coffee shops, at the alley site and at the nearby Park District field house. Multiple design options were explored with varying looks and layout options. Community comments helped shape the final pavers, furniture, and aesthetics. The project design was approved and construction documents were created for this fabulous new public space. The final touch is the alley entrance arch that welcomes visitors as enter and enjoy the space.
Glenbriar Park, on the corner of 53 and Butterfield Road in Glen Ellyn, is a beautiful community park ready for your next big event! The natural stonework of the custom shelter, fireplace, amphitheater, and display sign take this space to the next level. This project was fun to lead and we are so proud of how it turned out!
Welcome to the team, Lucas! Lucas studied landscape architecture at The Penn State University. Growing up with an interest in architecture and design, Lucas fell in love with landscape design and its many facets. With a love for plants, Lucas interned at the Penn State Arboretum and worked alongside Phyto studio’s design team. Excited to join the profession, Lucas joined Upland design after graduating Penn State and studying abroad in Germany and Spain.
