Philosophy

Our regenerative designs go beyond sustaining already damaged environmental conditions. We study living systems to make sites more vibrant and set the stage for healthy growth and evolution.  Living systems range from a single cell ameba to the super stratified layers of the tropical rain forest; from the location of a child’s lemonade stand to a regional economy; and from a single oak tree to the re-greening of an entire nation. We research and assess relevant living systems needed to bring your place-based designs to fruition.
