Koh Samui Garden Villa
Nestled on a beach overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui Garden Villa is collection of seven pavilions enveloped by a lush tropical garden. Designed in close collaboration with Atelier Nido, the landscape provides a sensory and immersive experience, both inside and out.
The buildings are organized to encourage movement between indoors and out, with each pavilion oriented to frame views, hold shade, and foster both privacy and interaction.
Local materials were used to create a sense of place: Samui granite hand-carved by island artisans, travertine sourced from a Thai quarry, Sukabumi stone at the pool to mirror the shifting colors of the sea, and repurposed teak shingles from an old barn on the roof of the bar and sala pavilions.
Buffalo River Rock Connector Trail
In collaboration with the Trust for Public Land, Landform developed a series of renderings to illustrate the potential of a new 2.73-mile trail that will turn an out-of-use rail corridor into a vibrant, green pathway linking four historically underserved neighborhoods to the benefits of nature.
Once complete, the River Rock Connector Trail will offer safe, accessible routes for walking and biking, improved access to the waterfront and the Empire State Trail, and much-needed green space in a part of the city long burdened by industrial disinvestment and a lack of infrastructure investment.
