UVA Fontaine Research Park
Location: Charlottesville, VA
Status: Design Completed 2017
This project began as a commission by UVA Fontaine Research Park to create pathway connections between two medical buildings facing on to an expansive lawn with views to the mountains. To capture a primary desire line and provide additional accessible routes, Wolf Josey proposed a central oval courtyard bounded by a seat wall oriented towards the mountains. The courtyard, carved into the sloping grade and surrounded by native planting provides a place of respite and tranquility in a busy medical setting.
