Urban Design
We are place makers.
We weave together the urban fabric to create places with new patterns, colors, and textures that enliven each community.
Our urban design group specializes in the visioning, planning, and detailing of urban centers, including downtowns, city centers, town centers, and neighborhood business districts. As a complement to our engineering and landscape architectural design of public infrastructure projects, our urban design group provides an overall vision for these urban districts as well as the custom finishing touches that implements the vision. We link all the elements that make an urban district a successful place to live, work, and play. We work with clients across the Pacific Northwest on a wide range of projects to transform their communities through planning and built projects. We pride ourselves on our ability to make each project reflect its communities’ character and strengthen its identity to create a wonderful place to live.
We provide big picture visioning for urban districts and corridors that lead to vibrant robust places.
