What We Do

Our work occurs at the interface of people and land - where the built and biological environments meet.

We design and develop learning landscapes and inspirational settings. We plan and install sustainable food systems such as edible landscapes and ecological agricultural systems. We design and construct working buildings and biologically-integrated hardscapes. We also integrate water, heating, cooling and electrical systems within site developments.

We aim to design places so that lines between the 'human' and the 'natural' disappear. Our practice is a systems approach to developing whole human habitats (integrated landscape-building systems).

Our approach synthesizes ecology, landscape architecture, site development, construction, farming, education and other disciplines. We find that human habitats are more vibrant through connecting, not dividing, the elements which compose a place; people-plants-buildings-sunshine-water-wildlife. Ecosystems are our model as we work with a diverse array of clientele in the creation of more natural, integrated, cost effective and joyful human settlements.
