We strive to design beautiful, sustaining and resilient landscapes...
Landscapes sustain us. We draw water and food from them, and we renew our spirits recreating in them. Backyards, city parks, shorelines, hotel courtyards, playgrounds - when designed with life and vitality in mind - offer respite, recreation and sustainable resources.
Landscapes and ecosystems everywhere are under intensifying pressure from increasing human use and disturbance. Nature-based solutions can offer resiliency when designed to capitalize on ecosystem services but at the same time respect limits to ecosystem function.
