What’s New at The Penland Studio?
So, I just realized that my last post was placed almost two years ago! I guess my intent to provide regular website updates has not occurred as planned. The simple reason is that we have been extremely busy with work! That’s a great problem to have, but leaves our website and communication with potential clients behind the times.
I’m often asked what The Penland Studio is working on at the moment. Here’s a partial list:
- Several local Churches
- Several mid-sized hotels in the Southeastern US
- Plans for restoration of a damaged aquatic buffer
- A new Greenway along Neyland Drive
- A new riverfront park in South Knoxville
- Several residential Master Plans
- A new Chipotle restaurant
- Several residential improvements such as a custom potting shed, landscaping new homes, correcting drainage problems
- A new Fine Arts facility on the ETSU campus
- Various consulting
Yes, life gets a little crazy when working on projects at vastly different stages of development, summer vacations, scout camps and planning boards, but I LOVE IT!
I hope to find time to update photos and projects on this website soon. Besides showing new projects, it’s fun to see photos of sites and landscapes as they mature. One of my mentors once said, “Architecture looks the best it ever will on the day construction is completed, but Landscape Architecture looks the worst it ever will when construction is completed.” I’m sure there are plenty of exceptions, but it is true that well-designed plants and the landscape tend to improve as they mature.
