Ken Smith Workshop is an award winning design firm with experience in a wide variety and scale of projects.

The firm practices landscape design primarily in the realm of public space.  Typical design problems involve making landscape space within the context of existing, reworked or complex urban fabric.  This requires a strategic approach in making the strongest conceptual landscapes within the limits and possibilities of the site’s infrastructure, context and program.  This has led to pushing beyond traditional landscape typologies of plaza, street, and garden to conceptualize landscapes that are hybridized from diverse traditions and influences of the contemporary culture.

Experience and experimentation are combined with the goal of producing landscapes of the highest conceptual and artistic quality.  Emphasis is placed on providing personal service and addressing landscape problems, which require special effort.  Each site, program and client are dealt with individually, giving attention to developing solutions specific to the project.

Ken Smith Workshop is based in New York City.
