Sustainable Places

Let us green the earth, restore the earth, heal the earth.

- Ian McHarg

Sustainability is at the heart of our work. We are committed to ecologically responsible design and construction methods, and actively seek work that allows us to incorporate rainwater management techniques, appropriate construction materials, and habitat and biodiversity enhancement strategies. Our LEED-certified professionals work on celebrated green building projects across the country. But we’re also trying to do more than simply minimize our environmental impact; with each shoreline habitat restoration, living roof design, and sustainable community plan, we restore and regenerate ecological systems. Reconnecting people with natural processes opens up a world of sustainable, innovative, and joyful experiences.
