Our Practice Areas

Multi-Family Residential

Landscape design that elevates everyday living.

For multifamily communities, outdoor space isn’t just amenity - it’s identity. We create landscapes that connect residents to nature, to each other, and to a deeper sense of place. Our designs balance beauty, functionality, and long-term stewardship for developers, operators, and residents alike. Our portfolio includes many successful residential developments including urban infill multifamily, affordable housing, student housing, and senior living. From the initial site plan down to the colors and finishes, we design spaces that help connect people to place, enhance quality of life, and build a sense of community pride.

Typical projects: Apartment communities, townhomes, garden-style developments, high-rise developments, mid-rise developments, mixed use, build-to-rent communities, affordable housing, student housing, senior living

Parks & Public Space

Reimaging public spaces for healthy, connected communities.

We believe public space is where community identity comes to life. Whether it’s a neighborhood pocket park, civic plaza, or regional destination, our work invites people to gather, move, and make memories. Thoughtful detailing, social purpose, ecological stewardship, maintenance, operations, programming and economic vitality drive our approach. Parks are incredibly important to the health and wellbeing of a community, so we focus on engaging the community on their desires and developing programming that will activate and help sustain the park. We strive to create parks that provide ecological function and help preserve and enhance the natural features on site. We include educational opportunities like sensory gardens, educational signage, and green infrastructure to strengthen community resilience..

Typical projects: Stormwater parks, urban parks, neighborhood and community parks, pocket parks, parks and recreation master plans, waterfront parks, civic spaces, plazas, green spaces, play environments, memorials

Mixed-Use & Retail

Placemaking that drives experience and engagement.

We bring design thinking to the spaces where people shop, dine, stroll, and connect. We prioritize engaging with local communities, actively listening to their input to ensure the final design reflects their needs and desires. Whether part of a larger development or a standalone destination, our landscapes support business goals by crafting places where people naturally gather, pause, and connect - creating memorable, people-focused environments that support both community and commerce.

Typical projects: Town centers, urban retail districts, vertical mixed-use developments, food halls, retail transformations, ground-floor retail

Transportation & Trails

We design safe, beautiful corridors that connect people to place with intention.

From multimodal corridors to regional greenway networks, we design transportation and trail systems that serve as gateways to everyday experiences and lifelong memories. Our work enhances mobility and access while respecting the character of the surrounding context - whether urban, suburban, or natural. We believe complete streets and thoughtfully designed trails are essential to the health and vitality of communities. By prioritizing safety, comfort, and balance among all users regardless of if they are walking, biking, using transit, or driving - we create connected environments that move people and shape communities.
