Great design is rooted in equal parts innovation, sustainability, and stewardship.

“While the synthesis of design goals, social purpose, artistic expression, meaning, and environmental stewardship is evident throughout the work, it is the human spirit and connection to its natural and cultural values that lies at the core of our design values.”   Tom Balsley

We see landscape as part of the infrastructure of great cities, as critical as a freeway or electrical grid. When viewed through this lens, landscape can be understood as both natural and human systems, essential to the wellbeing of communities. Our engagement with each site on its own terms results in memorable places that have clarity of function, identity, and meaning.
