​
Our schematic design process involves clearly defining the client’s goals, covering the overall scope of the project, property research, and site analysis.
With our experience steeped in horticulture, art, design-build, and environmental design; we strive to craft gardens and public spaces that are a hybrid of landscape architecture and garden artistry.
Inspiration often stems from abstract forms of nature found in abundance here in the Pacific Northwest, as well as from elements found in Japanese and Scandinavian design aesthetic.
Design detailing, permit work, and construction documentation are often necessary to generate a thorough installation estimate. We have experience detailing the components of various elements of a landscape such as drainage plans, retaining walls, and carpentry work.
We also offer 3D modeling / rendering and ‘as-built’ drawing production.
Beyond our design services Studio AB also offers project supervision and plant brokering services. We do the reconnaissance work needed to find the right species and site appropriate plant material. Our experience in design-build, knowledge of the Pacific Northwest plant world, and familiarity with several local nurseries can save time, ensure optimal quality, and sustainable success.
