how we work

Our work involves careful consideration of place — the people and communities who occupy and use it, and the stories and natural systems that make it specific and unique.

Our projects are designed to age gracefully. We use durable, low maintenance materials and embrace the weathering process as an authentic part of the story of any particular work and site. We see nature and the environment as ever-present collaborators.

The case studies below illustrate the numerous different methods in which we integrate art, landscape, storytelling, and design to address the nuances of place — weaving together cultural context, site analysis and data into an experience that is both narrative and memorable.
