LINEAR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

MISSION STATEMENT

Landscape architecture is the craft of blending art with nature, form with function, and style with precision. It takes into consideration infrastructure, natural systems and the need to create unity and cohesion, while also problem solving for the lifestyle of the user. These are some of the core principles guiding our work at Linear Landscape Architecture.

Our goal with every project is to create an elevated design experience, one that’s sophisticated, modern and innovative.

As part of our design process we consider each space in a much broader picture, taking into account the vernacular, surrounding environment and ways in which users will experience the space.

Our design style favors simplicity, and strong forms set against natural materials. One of the most fundamental design elements is the line. It can serve many functions. By itself, a line is the most basic shape. But when combined in a composition, it creates more complex shapes, patterns and textures. Lines can also create unity and rhythm or help a user navigate through a space. And perhaps most fundamentally, a line is a connection between two points.

Our mission at Linear Landscape Architecture is to create similar connections utilizing creative, high-quality design with the ultimate goal of having a positive impact on how users experience space. Working hand in hand with our clients, we help to interpret and navigate the design process, working together to sculpt spaces that endure for years to come.
