infusing it with bespoke design
and water-wise craftsmanship
In 2020, we turned our front lawn into a garden. It was a project that involved the whole family from planning to installation. While we realized its value for our household, and its role as a living laboratory, source of food and medicine, and generator of wonder, we didn’t anticipate its effect in bringing our neighborhood to life—from the microbes, insects, plants, and animals, to big and little human neighbors alike.
In that soil were sown the seeds that have grown into Living Place. Through processes of storying, storytelling, art, and design-build services, we hope to develop the capacity for enlivening neighborhoods and communities that share and contribute to the field of intelligent caring and curiosity for the Place that called us here.

In the Planning phase, we embark on a journey fueled by potential. It begins with an idea, a spark that ignites the imagination. We delve deep into the essence of your space, envisioning its role within a larger system. Through thoughtful imaging and understanding of flow, we craft a design concept that breathes life into your vision, setting the stage for transformation.
As we transition to the Design phase, we expand upon the initial concept, exploring new horizons and possibilities. Yet, we also recognize the role of limits and boundaries—physical, financial, and operational. Attuning our attention to evolving structural dynamics, we achieve a newfound harmony, charting a clear path toward our envisioned end state while respecting the inherent limits of the journey.
In the Building phase, we focus on translating vision into reality, navigating the complexities of the construction process with precision and finesse. From managing workflows to overcoming obstacles, we embrace the surrender to the journey while steadfastly holding onto the overarching vision. With every plant planted and every stone set, your living space transforms into a tangible manifestation of your dreams, embodying a new state of harmony and vitality.
From the vibrant gardens that welcome pollinators with open arms to the thoughtful materials that adorn every corner, your home can become a living symbol of hope for a better, healthier life for your community and generations to come.
With a guiding principle of doing what’s right for all by doing what’s right for each, we promise to honor each pollinator, each plant, each person, and each garden. And with every decision we make together, it’s done so with care and consideration, each choice echoing your values and contributing to the capacity to live into our collective responsibility to tend our shared place, Earth, for future generations.
