Our consultation services are designed to help you better understand your site. From an informal walk-and-talk to a detailed assessment, we can help you articulate goals, envision opportunities, and respond creatively to site-specific challenges.
Site Consultation
Most of our projects begin with a site consultation, which includes a combination of in-studio analysis and a site visit. We produce a basemap of your land with 1′ contours; run several site analyses; review soil data; and read through your answers to a client questionnaire. This gives us a good foundation from which to have a productive 2-3 hour site walk, where we can discuss our observations and quickly evaluate opportunities and constraints. We follow up with written and graphic site notes that synthesize high level takeaways and design directions. This service can be standalone or the foundational step in a more robust design process.
One-Day Design
A One-Day Design Consultation can help you dig into a specific and immediate design challenge or get a jumpstart on a longer-term, phased project. Our team preps materials in-studio sufficient to spend a full day on site, where we document the land’s conditions, interview stakeholders, and sketch out design ideas and stewardship strategies. We follow up with a portfolio of relevant materials including maps, sketches, photos, precedents, and recommendations for moving forward.
