Design Workshop

As an international design studio, we’ve learned the value of building community across cultures, geographies and economies. Whether designing a restorative private garden, reimagining an underperforming downtown center or developing the vision for a contemporary park within a fragile ecosystem, we are committed to more than design in the conventional sense. We tackle challenges beyond the project site and its mapped boundaries to create places of timeless beauty and meaningful connections.

Reclaiming the South Platte

We do what we do to make a difference for future generations. Our methodology ensures every project has a balance between environmental sensitivity, community connection, artistry and economic viability. This performance-based approach yields measurable results and projects that stand the test of time. In other words, we don’t just hope for sustainable projects; we rely on our process to deliver them. We call this process DW Legacy Design®.

We are a community of designers, planners and strategists driven to create places of meaning and resonance. We work to increase social equity, amplify connections to nature and bring joy to everyone through design.

Cultivating Diversity

We believe embracing diversity on all levels leads toward equity and inclusivity. We value the integrity of people and recognize the rights of all individuals. Respect, acceptance and appreciation of others without biases is fundamental to our culture and the impact of our work. We pledge to create and maintain an environment that thrives off of diverse traditions, heritage and perspectives.

We love what we do. Working across all scales and geographies makes us adept at planning and design in diverse project settings – from fragile ecosystems to urban sites in rapidly changing cities.
