OUR Philosophy

We think of culture and nature as an integrated system. It is not “Us against Them”. It’s “Just Us”. We need more than just the notion of “preservation” in our relationship with nature. To us the choice is not “Development” versus “Conservation”.  We offer a way of thinking that is a ‘both/and’ approach. This allows us to plan for a growing population while balancing the development and the natural resources that support us, and which we in turn can sustain.

Our Planning Approach to

Working Environments

We seek to break down the segregation of land uses that has created patterns of sprawl and to reintegrate the built environment and landscape in a variety of ways. We know how to guide an open, constructive dialogue to reach community consensus and a shared vision. This is the process of collecting and documenting all the ideas and communicating those ideas in a  compelling and easy-to-understand manner. We believe in challenging the ways of the past to bring about innovation and a fresh approach.
