Landscape Architecture & Land Planning
Unifying Vision With Reality
We are a landscape architecture and land planning studio working throughout New England and New York. From private residences to sensitive land developments, we help clients realize a vision for their land — and navigate the approvals that come with it. For more than 25 years, we’ve helped private landowners and developers turn raw ground into places worth living in.
About
Exploring Space, Form, Texture and Scale.
We begin with the land: its slope, its light, and the way water moves across it after a hard rain. This understanding precedes every drawing we produce.
More than thirty years into practice, the process has not changed. We study the site closely, design with discipline, and build landscapes that feel as though they were always meant to be there.
We believe the best design is the one that feels inevitable, intuitive as though it could not be any other way.

The Materials and the Work, in Detail.
The distinction between a good design and an exceptional one is found at close range: in the joinery of stone, the arc of a path underfoot, and the small decisions that go unnoticed only when they are well executed.

Where We Work
We enjoy a thorough knowledge of our region, built over a lifetime of experience in New England and New York — from the Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts to Boston, to coastal Connecticut and the Hudson Valley. Rooted in the Berkshires, we also take on select projects nationally for clients who want the same level of attention wherever their site happens to be.
