PRIDE-OF-PLACE
Our range of placemaking services add real value to sites in a number of ways to a variety of project scales. Empowered with green infrastructure, we transform sites into enriched environments where people enjoy the healing power of intuitively connecting with nature, events, culture and our shared humanity. Places that endear us this way easily become part of our cherished pride-of-place.
CREATING ADDED VALUE
There also is the most obvious tangible return in the financial benefits of increased financial value created by intelligently designed outdoors and lifestyle solutions.

Because ecosystem services support built-environment functions, well-designed sustainable sites deliver other hidden or intangible benefits from the new enlightened economics of natural assets. This nature-based economics allows for natural capital accounting [NCA] in which ecosystem services and natural processes are given the space to heal land, water and air rather than rely on purely mechanically engineered systems that would otherwise be costlier to build and maintain.
THE POWER OF GREEN DESIGN
Our placemaking hinges on meeting the fundamental human and social aspiration for green spaces for which human perception is naturally hardwired to.
.
In collaboration with other planning, architecture and engineering [A+E] consultants, we formulate site masterplans at the scale of townships, special districts and neighborhoods, defining land uses, circulation networks, infrastructure and services corridors. All these are wrapped into a site-wide strategy of green infrastructure that folds in open spaces, conservation areas and scenic resources.
Full service total-process landscape architecture design services from concept to tender documents stage, Construction Supervision and Post-Construction assistance.
Our grasp of natural systems, the built environment and demographics allows us to take a lead role in projects as much as landscape architecture is in a unique position to mediate in interdisciplinary concerns.
Specialized services include consultations for site selection, potentials assessment, signage and wayfinding, playspaces, environmental art, greenroofs and vertical greenwalls among others.
Bridging landscape architecture and urban planning, we shape the urban form to their component patterns and elements within the public realm of roadways and civic space through policy and design. Thoughtfully configured site circulation for vehicles, pedestrians and support services remain our focus for creating safe, walkable environments and engaging spaces.
Empower places with a distinctive ambience folding in landmarks, features and artifacts that are works of landscape art.
With groundshaping and earthwork as the site's foundation, we work to creatively combine planting, paving, site furniture, landscape lighting, water effects and one-of-a-kind environmental art that captures a project's branding signature.
Our welcome and arrival statements that also are signage elements often double up as pieces of environmental art.
Specialist land and site planning for agroforestry schemes and mixed-use farm resorts bringing together the latest thinking and the mutually reinforcing synergies of soils science, cropping technologies, water resources management, waste management, agroforestry, ethnobotanic traditions, landscape architecture and tourism planning.
We aim to uncover the best and highest use of land and its resources towards maximum sustainability while increasing land values. The best possibilities in urban rooftop food gardens, kitchen gardens, farmsteads and community gardens, food forests, heirloom gardens or anything in between can be creatively co-located with other primary land uses.
Prior to planning and design, certain preparatory services may first be needed. There is a wide range of technical advisory services available. Among others, this may include the preparation of Development Guidelines as a legacy document to guide succeeding stages of phased development township developers and local government units [LGUs] may find useful.
The selection of the best site from among a number of candidate sites for a particular development may also be explored.
We ensure that projects are built to the intended design, to the technical specifications, and within budget as approved by the Client. Working within seasonal and supply-chain opportunities, we advise on delivery times including long lead-time acquisition bottlenecks, assess quality of materials, products and workmanship of executed work to achieve project completion dates.
By coordinating with the Clients' designated Project Management and other architecture + engineering [A+E] consultants, including stakeholders, we ensure a 'same-page expectations' on quality of project delivery.
In behalf of Clients' interests, our plan and design reviews are an independent service. It provides an unbiased layer of assurance in project management to ensure that plans and designs done by other third-party Consultants are objectively reviewed to meet the desired level of quality of the 5 Cs : completeness, correctness, corroboration, constructability and code-compliance throughout all stages of the design process.
Our gaps and clash analyses bring out issues for quick resolution. In addition, reviews to ensure conformance to a Client's branding requirements are also available .
Beyond beautification, we deliver total or specialized site-specific solutions tailored for a project, including supporting or stand-alone special studies.
This assistance extends to scoping for green, innovative and tested technologies to integrate with otherwise conventional engineering practice to achieve the highest and best use of the project.
We also provide training for the Clients' groundskeeping staff on best practices of Operations + Maintenance [O+M] to kickstart upon project turnover.
