Our Process / Philosophy
Listen. Listen to the client for their goals and desires. Listen to the site. What does the site offer: views, vegetation, hydrology, soils, existing features, and how can they be celebrated. If the client is a community we have a proven community input process that includes education, brainstorming, goal setting, and prioritization. Once we have all of the pieces we craft the goals into the fabric of the site to provide our clients the opportunity to be involved in the design process. We do not believe there is just one idea or option. Our goal is to realize the client’s dreams. The project belongs to the client and we are just a visitor.
