Aris Land Studio of Bridgeport receives Honor Award from the Connecticut Chapter of American Society of Landscape Architects for Stepping Stones Museum for Children, Norwalk. The Connecticut Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (CTASLA) has announced the winners of its annual Connecticut Professional Awards competition. CTASLA conducts the awards competition each year to recognize excellence in landscape architectural design, planning and analysis. Located in Mathews Park in Norwalk, the Stepping Stones Museum for Children has experienced great success since its opening in 2001. With environments designed and created to capture the imagination of children, the Museum recently enlarged their footprint to provide expanded and new programs for their visitors and members. Completed in June 2010, the addition provides an exciting experience for young and old alike. The landscape architect, Aris Land Studio, helped transform a landscape devoid of life into a space where visitors can experience grasslands, perennial and butterfly gardens, herb and woodland gardens. The use of native plants and sustainable stormwater management techniques, such as rain gardens and a green roof, reduce long-term maintenance costs and the facilitys impact on the environment. In reviewing the award submittal, the jury noted, This project showcases the creativity that landscape architects are known for. In practice since 2009, Aris Land Studio is a landscape architectural firm that strives to create designs with a planning approach that holistically incorporate the environment. The firm emphasizes good design, planning, and site development, and the value they provide to both end users and to the local ecosystem. Capitalizing on each sites or communitys specific advantages, Aris Land Studio creates unique places for the public, helping to drive economic development and improve quality of life for Connecticut residents.
