Measured in Decades, Not Deliverables
On the fifteen-year mark as the only metric that matters
Most design disciplines are judged at handoff. That is, the day the photographs are taken and the project is called complete. Landscape architecture doesn't work that way: a planting plan is a bet on how a site will perform ten, twenty, fifty years out, long after the firm that designed it has moved on. We built our practice around checking that bet. Every project we complete gets a return visit at the fifteen-year mark, and what we find there (not the renderings, not the ribbon-cutting) is the real measure of whether the work succeeded.
