GBA strives for sustainable, creative, and sensitive design solutions that work with nature rather than against it, are beautiful as well as functional, and provide the best possible living and working environment.
Our approach to land planning begins with a thorough understanding of the client’s needs, consideration of economic and market conditions, and an in-depth analysis of the environmental constraints and opportunities affecting the design. This information provides the basis for developing project plans, beginning first with preliminary concept studies that explore innovative alternatives and ideas. Upon client approval of the conceptual plan, detailed site plans are developed that locate buildings, parking, landscaping, and other site elements in an attractive and functional arrangement.
Some sustainable tools, techniques, and strategies include:
Downtown revitalization
Redevelopment studies
Brownfield redevelopment
Smart Growth
Land use studies
Corridor studies
New Urban development
Wetland and open space conservation
Stormwater runoff management
Landscape architecture with native species
As project plans are developed, careful consideration is given to cost, aesthetics, and feasibility, as well as to creating the best possible environment which meets the client’s objectives.
