The Firm

Philosophy

Successful place-making is our goal. We strive to create spaces that reflect the character, history, and context of a given site, while enhancing human connectivity and experience. Creating quality “Places” is our objective and is the expression of our art.

The quest for quality design drives our firm. We find that good design is timeless, solves the right problems, and in the end, tells its own story. We also find that good design solutions are not always easy or obvious, and success is usually only achieved through hard work.

Design

Design, in the end, is about creating better things for people; the process begins with inspiration from our client’s goals, site ecology, a region’s historic context, and the potential of what could be. Early integration of the project team is also very important. As landscape architects on the team, we find that we can serve as the important link between site work and architecture. We strive to create excellence in design by understanding modern patterns of living, current construction techniques, and developing fresh ideas. Most important is attention to detail. The details are not just the details - they make the design.
