SERVICES

We design streetscapes, plazas, public commons, and roof and podium landscapes, specializing in post-industrial and mixed-use districts where living, working, and learning meet.

We work across three service areas to transform challenging sites into thriving places. Our urban landscape work focuses on renovation and renewal, helping communities reconnect with their environment. Commercial projects deliver strategic design that maximizes impact while meeting business objectives. Through design consulting, we partner globally as specialized contractors, bringing targeted expertise in post-industrial renewal and trauma-informed design.

We partner with all parties to keep momentum, aligned with business needs, public-sector goals, and community voices, carrying work from vision to reality through clear documentation that everyone can follow.

Stages of Site Design

1. Discovery & Brief (Pre-design)

Read the site (current and potential use), nature, and history; review data and constraints; align the brief, risks, and opportunities; set public-realm objectives and performance criteria.

2. Concept

Establish a governing idea and test options. Concept diagrams and masterplan, outline direction for materials and planting, and an initial phasing approach.

3. Schematic Design (SD)

Translate the concept into buildable moves: preliminary grading/sections, circulation and servicing logic, climate comfort (shade, wind, stormwater), and heritage legibility. Coordinate with architecture, civil, and MEP.

4. Design Development (DD)

Refine layouts, materials, assemblies (including roof and podium landscapes), and planting/maintenance strategy. Technical coordination and outline specs as appropriate.

5. Design-Intent Package for CDs

Prepare design-intent drawings and schedules to support the local Landscape Architect of Record in producing Construction Documents and permit sets.

6. Construction & Post-Occupancy

Remain involved during construction — author’s oversight where applicable or design-intent reviews with the local LA of Record; submittals/shop drawings/RFI reviews on request; targeted site visits/photo reviews, mockups, punch-list input. After opening, optional post-occupancy review and tuning.
