Landscape Design
Architectural Composition
Landscape design operates as architectural practice. We compose outdoor spaces through spatial organization, material selection, and environmental integration. Each project requires analysis of site conditions, architectural context, and functional requirements.
Our design process begins with spatial planning. We define zones, movement patterns, and material relationships. The result is an outdoor environment that functions as an extension of architectural intent.

Spatial Planning
Outdoor spaces require organization. We establish functional zones through material definition, planting structure, and spatial boundaries. Each zone serves a specific purpose while contributing to overall composition.
Movement patterns connect these zones. Pathways, steps, and level changes guide circulation. The relationship between static and dynamic spaces creates spatial hierarchy.
Material Integration
Materials provide structure and aesthetic character. We select hard materials for durability and visual coherence. Sandstone, bluestone, and architectural concrete form the foundation of our landscapes.
Environmental Considerations
Each site presents unique environmental conditions. We analyze soil, drainage, microclimate, and existing vegetation. These factors inform material selection, planting design, and spatial organization.
Site Analysis
Comprehensive documentation of topography, existing vegetation, and environmental conditions.
Material Selection
Materials chosen for durability, aesthetic coherence, and environmental compatibility.
Planting Design
Native and adapted plants selected for form, texture, and spatial contribution.
Design Documentation
Our design process produces comprehensive documentation including detailed drawings, material specifications, and planting schedules. This documentation ensures design intent is realized through construction.
Implementation
We work with contractors to ensure material selection and spatial relationships align with design intent.
Quality Assurance
Ongoing communication during construction ensures design integrity and material quality.
