Our designers create streetscapes that foster connectivity and provide increased pedestrian safety, weaving visual enhancements into the designs to influence people’s experience of the spaces. Our new and renewed streetscapes are highly functional and instill a sense of place, through the use of thoughtful pavement selections, vibrant planting designs, timeless site furnishings, community art and sculptural elements that inspire people to gather.

We create active transportation solutions for safe walking and cycling options in and on trails, bike lanes, gateways and greenways. Each project is an opportunity to promote healthy lifestyles and grow robust economies through dynamic walking and bicycling networks that connect home, work, school, shopping and recreation.

Our firm is committed to sustainability and environmental awareness and our integrated team of landscape architects, urban designers and engineers begins each project from this perspective. Our team works together to create aesthetically-pleasing engineered landscapes from bioswales to urban streetscapes. These types of solutions manage stormwater more efficiently and more cost-effectively in both the short and long terms—with minimal environmental impact.

An identifiable community brand creates a lasting impression. Our landscape architects and urban designers work with you to understand your community’s unique identity or help you define one. Then we create interesting ways to visually communicate your brand to resonate with citizens, patrons and tenants, such as through modern bridge aesthetics and gateways. We also create wayfinding that improves pedestrian access, circulation and safety, and develop accompanying signage using varied materials, color and lighting options.

Inherent in our work on your project is the need for a rich visual display that realistically portrays your conceptual design and creates your project’s story. Our team uses impactful tools like drones, HoloLens, SketchUp and Lumion for high-quality graphic display of plans and illustrations to enrich public understanding, and build both public and private sector support and buy-in for your project.

Site design involves a holistic process, integrated from concept through construction with input from landscape architects, urban planners and civil engineers. Our collaborative services span your entire redevelopment, restoration, new build or renovation project—from site feasibility studies through detailed design including layout, grading, earthwork, utilities and planting, and continuing through the entire bid and construction administration phases.
