CREATING CONNECTIONS

From person to person. From people to the land. It takes creative vision to connect the dots from the client to the end-user.

LandCreativeInc. [LCI] is a landscape architecture and planning design firm whose synergistic approach to connecting function and emotion results in fresh, engaging and evocative design.

The courage to think creatively and the real world expertise to deliver successful project solutions. This is our BIG DESIGN ethos.

I’m driven by the desire to create beautiful, natural spaces. I am inspired by the meaningful experiences such places provide.”

Paul T. Wong Principal

What we believe and what we think -

It takes a critical balance of creative vision and experience to unite the two.

BIG DESIGN

We think globally, regionally and culturally.

Drawing on 20+ years experience leading large project teams both domestically and abroad, we synthesize needs-oriented design, considering regional and local context to ensure our solutions successfully integrate with the fabric of the community. Our work is born from functionalityfocused design thinking, in which our distinct creative direction and aesthetic overlay establishes a deep connection between the client’s goals, a community’s needs and its cultural influences.

We think forward.

Our expertise to identify and resolve issues before they arise, provides us with the confidence to be flexible and responsive when they do.

We believe in the art of nature and the beauty of design.

Our team aims to create inspired spaces, sanctuaries from daily life that enable us to pause, take notice, and reconnect; with the land around us, our fellow people, and with ourselves.

CREATIVE APPROACH SERVICES

We listen.

We take our clients’ project goals to heart, and understand the end-users’ needs. We engage in focused collaboration, encouraging client participation and providing continuous project leadership throughout.

Then we create.

From visioning to documentation to project supervision, our work is always informed by this communicative and collaborative approach.
