Built Work · 2016–2026

Projects

Sixty-two commissions built, six in construction. A selection below — each one is ground that had a problem before it had a design.

Kestrel Marsh Commons

Tacoma, WA · Constructed wetland & boardwalk park · 2025

A former rail yard rebuilt as an 18-acre treatment wetland that doubles as the neighborhood's only park. Detains 4.2M gallons per storm season.

Alder Line Terraces

Portland, OR · Transit corridor streetscape · 2024

Two miles of light-rail frontage regraded into planted terraces that intercept runoff before it reaches the Willamette. 340 new street trees.

Odori Pocket Court

Sapporo, JP · Snow-country civic plaza · 2023

A quarter-acre plaza engineered for five months of snow load and snow storage, then a fast spring conversion to market stalls.

Ridgeline Campus Grounds

Bend, OR · Community college campus · 2022

High-desert campus landscape planted entirely from a 40-mile seed radius. Irrigation demand cut 71% against the district baseline.

Two Creeks Detention Basin

Vancouver, WA · Stormwater park · 2020

A fenced-off municipal basin opened up as public open space — same hydraulic capacity, plus a loop trail, an amphitheater lawn, and heron habitat.

Hollow Meadow Schoolyard

Gresham, OR · Green schoolyard retrofit · 2019

Four acres of asphalt play surface replaced with meadow, log scramble, and rain gardens. Summer surface temperatures dropped 22°F.

Commissioning

Have a site that isn't working?

We take on eight to ten new commissions a year, typically public or institutional, from 0.2 to 40 acres. If your site floods, bakes, or sits empty, that is our kind of problem.
