What We Do
We craft beautiful, contextual, and enduring landscapes.
We Create
PLACES THAT IMPACT
We create places that provide significant social, environmental, and educational impact on individuals and communities.
PLACES THAT CONNECT
We create places that invite emotional and spiritual connection. We believe design must be contextual – responding to its layered history.
PEACE OF MIND
Our diversified approach leverages the expertise of the entire firm to deliver consistently beautifully intelligent design.
Who We Are
We are curious innovators, passionate artisans, and humble stewards – buoyed by the strength of our relationships.
We Are
CURIOUS INNOVATORS
We strive to consistently expand our knowledge and create real value for our clients. We believe in endless curiosity and the reality that every setting has something to teach us.
ARTISANS AND STEWARDS
Great places are the sum of their details. The places we create have positive impacts on the land, environment, and communities in which they lie.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDERS
We believe deeply in the power of relationships – with our clients, our staff, and our families.
How We Work
Great service is as important as great design. Our process is rooted in active listening, communication, and collaboration.
We Value
LISTENING, COMMUNICATING AND COLLABORATING
We proactively listen and communicate with our clients to ensure the highest level of service. Experience shows us the best solutions flow out of processes where these attributes are actively flowing.
BELIEF IN CREATIVITY THROUGH THE POWER OF STORY
Mining the stories inherent in each site leads to unique places developed through careful research and discovery.
STARTING WITH THE END IN SIGHT
Our firm was founded on the principles of delivering the finest documentation and craftsmanship in everything we do. The result? Value and peace of mind to our clients and users.
Learning
Continuous staff development is foundational to our way of working. Being a leader requires constant learning and growth. Encouraging initiative and creativity as well as solid technical and interpersonal skills helps us achieve a high level of professional satisfaction for each of our staff while elevating our performance as a firm.
Gathering
EPTDESIGN is built around the ideal that we’re a fun place to work hard. A big part of the fun is taking time away from our studios together: time to explore and enjoy. Time to grow together and to play.
Exploring
Travel. Renewal. Exploration. Knowledge. We developed TREK on the belief that travel opens our eyes to new possibilities. Two employees each year are awarded an extra week and a stipend for travel… to be inspired and inspire our studios. Proposals are reviewed by a jury comprised of our clients, consultants, and peers. The program has exceeded our wildest imaginations and has fostered a culture of adventure amongst our staff that we find pretty darn thrilling.
