People’s opinions matter. And when it comes to planning, opinions can strengthen or dismantle a project. That’s why we take a full, hands-on approach with our designs, soliciting input during the planning stages through a series of meetings (in both English and Spanish when needed). These meetings often include user-friendly, interactive models to help people visualize and set up their “ideal” plans. We then include these views and employ them in our final designs. This is especially important in community projects, such as parks or neighborhood centers, where feedback from residents (including children) is pivotal to their ultimate success.
