Building strong communities with 5 core strategies
Community Design Services
Our design process centers around five catalytic strategies to foster strong communities: historic preservation, creative placemaking, recreation & trails, development planning, and ecological landscapes.
Since 2006, we’ve been honing our approach to help local governments, non-profits, developers, and community members create economically viable, socially equitable, and ecologically sustainable places.
Our list of clients includes cities such as Ogden, Salt Lake, Park City, Logan, and South Salt Lake, and rural communities, such as Beaver and Washington Counties.
We intend to continue supporting municipalities in realizing growth opportunities while preserving their inherent sense of unique character and identity.
In addition to a myriad of economic benefits, the preservation and adaptive re-use of historic buildings, landscapes, and districts creates a strong sense of unique identity and pride in communities.
The collaborative process of creative placemaking involves small-scale, community-engaged interventions which build on unique local culture, increase pride of place, and incentivize reinvestment.
Outdoor recreation opportunities, including ecological places, trails, and activities, support local economies, encourage healthy lifestyles, and foster more community gathering.
We work with cities and developers to plan projects that not only meet market needs, but also preserve the quality of life, maintain the character of existing neighborhoods and landscapes, and provide returns on investment for property owners and community members alike.
We seek to expand the earth’s ecological capacity by supporting ecosystem services through preservation, smart development, urban agriculture, and green infrastructure.
