Our work has evolved over time from fine-grain residential projects, including dozens of carefully crafted landscapes, to work in corporate practice and efforts in informal communities around the globe. Regardless of scale or complexity, we think about each project as a fusion of research, design, and construction. All the projects in our portfolio are situated in unique places and at specific intervals of time, meaning each is site and context dependent, and responsive to both the vicissitudes and broader patterns at play.

From the mega-scale of urban regions to intimate human-scale efforts, our work is shaped by rigorous analysis, formal, material and technological experimentation, and always striving to enhance the ways people interact with one another and our with environment. As cities and communities around the world continue to grow and struggle to evolve in ecological balance, we are working to better understand how to support one another and grow in harmony with both natural and synthetic forces in the environment.
