Informed Urban Design

We can handle the complexity and pressure of transformative projects, because we’ve done it successfully—many times before—with large scale impact and from a small scale team. Our thinking is expansive, and our ideas are bold, but they’re also feasible. We have the fortitude to see transformative plans become physical realities. And the foresight to ensure they remain relevant long after opening day.

Vision and Execution

Positive, lasting change is our primary objective. We’re designers of connection, stewards of history, and lovers of nature. Shared spaces shape our shared experiences. So, we dream and design accordingly. At Civitas, we collaborate to build places that define, inspire, and endure.

Mastery through Empathy

We believe communities know what they need, and inspiration can come from anyone. With community at the our core, our approach to urban design and landscape architecture is deeply rooted in local context and responsive to local needs. We ensure big ideas can actually be constructed, and we address any technical issues that arise along the way.
