Developing Designer-focused Tools

Our landscape architects often work with other designers and engineers to develop design guidelines, toolboxes, and standards to address a broad range of places and topics, including: multi-modal streets and street networks, pedestrian facilities and universal design/accessibility, transit-oriented districts, downtowns and village centers, neighborhoods and residential developments, master planned communities, scenic byways and corridors, resorts and tourist districts, and other unique settings.

Because we are often involved taking projects from the earliest stages of design all the way through construction, our design guidelines documents are created with the designer in mind—highly illustrative, clear, concise, and easy-to-apply, intuitive guidance. We carefully review all applicable code requirements and standards at the federal, state, and local levels for each assignment to ensure that the guidelines reflect these provisions while also being tailored to fit the specific context, history, character, and style of the place in focus.
