Sunday, April 12, 3:00-5:00pm | Dallas The Dallas Urban Reserve by Kevin Sloan, ASLA, M.Arch of Kevin Sloan Studio, with Robert Meckfessel, FAIA, DSGN Associates Register: https://tclf.org/event/garden-dialogues-dallas-fort-worth-2015 Internationally recognized as an “innovative green project,” the award-winning Urban Reserve transformed a 10-acre site that had been an illegal landfill for more than 50 years into an exquisite Modernist community. In 2004, Urban Edge Developers in Dallas purchased the tract to construct a sustainable community, engaging landscape architect Kevin Sloan Studio and architects including Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. The refined aesthetics and careful grooming are equaled by environmentally sensitive details: the main street is a continuous biofilter; storm water is conveyed into rain gardens, separated by parking; cypress and reed plants filter water to sedimentation ponds for low-velocity drip irrigation. Concrete fragments and steel beams left over from its previous use as a landfill have been repurposed as “bricolage” for pavements and terraces. As part of the Dialogue, attendees will visit the landscapes of three private residences. Photos courtesy Kevin Sloan and Diane Cheatham

This owner's goal was to minimize square footage without sacrificing aesthetics or function, and to utilize sustainable materials and systems. Although they were not seeking LEED certification, this home includes many “built green” features throughout, such as the use of natural daylight, reduced solar heat gain, geothermal heat exchanger for radiant heat and high velocity cooling.

The hillside was formerly all ivy. A bio-degradable jute was placed first to help hold the hillside for 6 months while giving the plants a chance to fill out and do their job holding the hillside. The main plant is a trio of Arbutus 'Marina' multi trunk Strawberry Tree accented with small boulders and up lit. The Ceanothus Yankee Point and the trailing Lantana will help cover the hillside and between roots holding soil and branches reducing rain velocity, they will aid in keeping the hill intact. Carpet roses will further aid in slowing the velocity of the rain fall. The Phormiums will add year round color and interest.
