Design Studio

We practice holistically at the nexus of land use, development, and infrastructure to create beautiful and sustainable places.

What we do:

Urban Design
Landscape Architecture
Civil Engineering
Planning

We artfully blend – through creative design – constructed landscapes and natural systems while responding to pragmatic project requirements.

Holistic Solutions

Our creative approach engages early and in-house with project teams to ‘fine tune’ and tailor-make solutions.

Context Connection

Good design reflects local context.

We address the qualitative character of improvements to maximize ‘community fit’, so elements feel ‘like they belong’.

Communication

We begin by listening. Only then do our designers, facilitators and public speakers further engage to support outreach efforts, simplify technical issues, and improve 2D and 3D visualizations. We are charrette and work-session facilitation veterans.

Visualization

Appropriate graphic solutions vary by project phase, complexity and expectations.

We provide:

Quick, Hand-Drawn Sketches
3D Design Alternatives
Concept Massing
Hybrid Perspectives Combining Digital and Hand Drawing
Presentation Imagery

Public Realm Experts

Essential to high quality of life, our designers offer a track-record of delivering award-winning parks, trails and all varieties of community open spaces.

Design Leadership

Good design need not cost more. We provide unparalleled in-house expertise to meet increasing client expectations, and create places of lasting value.
