Our approach to environmental design moves beyond the tradition that distinguishes ecology from form, to integrate environmental systems with rigorous design. Our aesthetic evolves hand-in-hand with an understanding of the site's natural systems, and with the ecological operations at work in the landscape. We consider the natural systems of a site as the starting point for design; our process involves working within social, architectural, historical, cultural and economic frameworks as well. We build teams that bring together the highest quality of design - architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, fine arts - with the highest levels of environmental engineering and science.
