What We Do
Our Landscape Architects are artists and technicians who creatively meld strong knowledge of the land with aesthetics. We are skilled in understanding your goals and bringing them to reality. The places we design become the sites you walk, gather, hike, drive, visit, and love. We transform the ordinary into the extraordinary in novel ways that seek to preserve the planet. Drainage channels become multipurpose parks. Roofs become sustainable green gardens. A former dairy farm became an urban wildlife refuge – one of the first of its kind in the US! Wetlands become outdoor classrooms. We envision a world where beautiful places are functional. Our priority is always innovation combined with stewardship – water conservation and regionally appropriate plants are our specialty.
Our Community Planners bring to life places that support people socially, economically, and culturally. We work with our clients to develop everything from regional scale comprehensive plans to site specific master plans. We take your vision, build a plan, and execute strategic steps to achieve that vision. We craft a blueprint for our clients that’s not only practical but deeply rooted in the history and culture of their communities. Our Community Planners are committed to mindful planning of meaningful places where people choose to live, work, and play.
Urban design projects frequently combine elements from architecture, landscape architecture, and community planning. Our Urban Design team unifies these skills into a creative process that allows us to create spaces that excite and enhance the community. Our goal is to preserve the unique history of each place. We deeply and thoughtfully consider each design element – buildings, the surroundings, and functionality meld into a complete and cohesive design. Our Urban Design team will ensure that your downtowns, cultural complexes, plazas, gathering spaces, streets, and commercial developments are culture-preserving, aesthetically pleasing, and functionally useful.
