Planning

We believe that the guided preservation of built and natural resources in concert with dynamic contextual infill is an environmental best practice for creating livable, sustainable communities. Current needs, economic realities and future aspirations must be balanced with a deep understanding of existing conditions and a community’s cultural, built and environmental history. From site-specific solutions to neighborhoods, communities and the region, our rich exploration and methodology of practice create connectivity and continuity - a flow of design moments that add up to a meaningful place.

Our planning and urban design studio collaborates with clients to create an individualized, comprehensive scope of services that result in innovative solutions, building on the strength of local and regional assets. Furthermore, the firm believes that the best plans are a product of early, frequent and meaningful community engagement, including stakeholder interviews, advisory task force meetings, interactive public meetings and web-based communication techniques. The resulting plans are visually exciting, action-oriented, implementable documents that have broad-based community support and empower our clients to foster vibrant communities.
