Our Philosophy & Values

We believe the basis for a successful design lies hidden within the context of asite and our goal is to discover, foster and develop it through research and analy-

sis, conceptual generation and the blending of aesthetic and pragmatic aspectsof Landscape Architecture and Civil Engineering into a comprehensive solution.

In working with our Clients, we strive for comprehensive, creative and thorough

problem solving services based on these values:

SERVICE: We are committed to building strong and long-lasting relationshipsbased on transparent communication, trust, honesty and integrity. We listen to

and respond to the needs of our Clients, treating them as partners.

STEWARDSHIP: Sustainable design is developing long-lasting quality solu-

tions while striving to preserve natural resources for future generations and we arecommitted to being managers of our world ecology for our Clients.

SYNERGY: Whether we are part of a collaborative team effort or working singly

with a Client, we are committed to a dynamic and interactive approach to planning

and design.

PERSPECTIVE: We are committed to helping our Clients see and understandtheir project in different ways in order to create the best possible solutions. Our

personal directive on any project is how can we push the creative design enve-

lope while satisfying the program and budget requirements.

OPTIMISM: We are committed to generating excitement and positive energyabout each project and letting this passion guide us through the design process

and beyond.
