Our planners collaborate with our clients to understand their specific needs, opportunities, and constraints to provide tailor-made, innovative solutions geared toward successful implementation. 

/ Urban Design - Our urban design studio creates engaging design solutions that are underpinned by our renowned expertise in land use planning and design. Ranging from large, transit-oriented developments and master plans to concepts that analyze the development potential for individual sites, our urban design projects push the boundaries of creativity while reflecting our comprehensive experience, knowledge of current trends, and innovative vision, to keep us at the forefront of the Canadian urban design scene. 

/ Landscape Architecture - Our landscape architecture team’s approach is defined by a comprehensive understanding of how people’s lives shape, and are shaped by, their environments. Whether creating large scale master plans, or a small urban park, our team of landscape architects considers the site’s physical surroundings and the needs of the clients and communities, as well as the financial mechanisms, long-term community effects, implementation, maintenance, and management of the project. This allows us to present design solutions that appropriately address functional and aesthetic concerns.
