PROFILE

Founded in 2012, Travis Van Liere Studio is a progressive landscape architecture and urban design practice committed to the creation of innovative and transformative landscapes. Our work includes diverse projects of various scales and award-winning designs for excellence and sustainability. We are dedicated to the design and construction of projects, which engage their context and community and are influenced by people and place. The success of our practice is due to our clear design vision and dedication to all our clients.

PHILOSOPHY

Innovative and transformative landscape architecture is created through the integration of landscape, ecology, art, and architecture. It is ingrained in context, clarity, craft, and collaboration. Our designs focus on the relationship between people and landscape. We understand the details of a place that make it functional, engaging, and environmentally sustainable. We are dedicated to design innovation, research, and refinement that is rooted in the historical context of a given site. The landscapes that we create are simple, distinct, and beautiful. We are committed to a culture of collaboration between clients and designers and to the long-term environmental stewardship of our landscapes. We are a family-oriented practice that takes designing for future generations seriously.
