Creatives Powering Innovation
Creatives Powering Innovation
We are a group of designers with a shared love of our work and the positive impact we can make. We balance practical expertise and forward-thinking innovation, challenging ourselves to take on new work and continuously grow and improve. At the core of our work as landscape architects is the art of directing flows. We find our flow in immersive, creative work, and through partnerships with our communities, clients and project teams. This involves balancing a site’s unique constraints and opportunities with the technical requirements of construction, while keeping in mind the aspirations of the wider community. We aim to create places that will contribute to the long-term well-being of the ecosystems of which we are a part.
Design-Led Philosophy
Design-Led Philosophy
We believe in the power of design to generate positive change in our natural and built environments. Critical design thinking and engagement in a design process elevates our built work into landscape systems that are more sustainable, livable, and just. We apply the lens of trauma-informed design to all our work because landscapes that prioritize safety, comfort, choice, and connection, and that utilize the healing influence of nature, are places that are good for everybody. With experience in planning, design, and construction, we develop solutions that are practical and uplifting. We infuse into our process a deep understanding of how a space will be used, enriching our projects with strategic and creative design.
Partnerships and Cooperation
Partnerships and Cooperation
We are a true collaborative: meaningful, trusting relationships are central to our work and our mission. We believe the greatest ideas can come from the most surprising places, and that an open and inclusive environment is essential in allowing these to surface. Every member of a project team plays an important role, informing and improving the design process and project outcome.
