WHAT WE DO WHO WE ARE OUR APPROACH
Everybody needs a little bit of wild
We design for a world in which human beings and wild systems thrive side by side. Access to nature is a right and a necessity for people of all ages to be happy and healthy, and natural systems in turn can be uplifted by human tending and care.
We provide landscape architectural services and ecological consulting to projects and clients throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Landscape Architecture
Working with clients who share a passion for creating beautiful outdoor spaces where people and nature thrive, we cover all stages of design, from site assessment and masterplanning to detailed design, permitting, construction documentation, and construction observation. We collaborate with local contractors who are committed to craftsmanship, integrity, and sustainability.
Ecological Design and Consulting
As ecological consultants we bridge the traditional gap between scientists and designers. Working either as the primary consultant or as an adjunct to a larger team, we bring an understanding of how to support on-site ecology, and develop strategies for thoughtfully treated landscape spaces that consider habitat function, ecological potential, and long term management approaches.
Our Approach
Our goal is to create beautiful spaces that are comfortable, practical, and rich with life. While a fully considered site designed includes much more than plants, we do hold special fondness for this living aspect. We make planting a joyful component of the design, with plant communities that are aesthetically and ecologically cohesive, chosen to suit both the particulars of the site and the maintenance resources of our clients.
Climate change is creating unprecedented upheaval in both natural and human systems. We actively participate in regional conversations considering the appropriate landscape response. Our design approach recognizes this challenge, and emphasizes solutions that can buffer climate threats and adapt to changing conditions.
