Design Workshop

Our founders, while professors at North Carolina State, set a course to engage clients, staff and colleagues in a collaborative process they labeled “design workshop.”  For nearly four decades, Design Workshop has provided landscape architecture, urban design and strategic s services to clients in North America and throughout the world.  We are committed to creating special places that meet today’s needs and that are sustainable environments for all time.  We have developed a methodology called DW Legacy Design®.  This proprietary process seeks to imbue every project with a balance between environmental sensitivity, community connection, artistic beauty and economic viability that demonstrates measureable results.

Our knowledge, experience and portfolio of award-winning projects have granted us the selection by our peers as the American Society of Landscape Architects 2008 Firm of the Year.

We believe that when environment, economics, art and community are combined in harmony with the dictates of the land and needs of society, magical places result – sustainable places of timeless beauty, significant value and enduring quality, places that lift the spirit.

While previous street standards emphasized uniformity, the new street design manuals emphasize flexibility and choice for design professionals to arrive at solutions that reflect the needs of each place, and satisfy broad goals that call for "livability," "improved connectivity," and "enhanced environmental quality."
