Philosophy and Process:

O’Doherty Group Landscape Architecture practices a philosophy of listening closely and being responsive to the client throughout the design process. We assist our clients in prioritizing choices that positively affect the long-term potential of each project. We are proud of the variety, quality and longevity of our work.

  • Design innovation is one of the firm’s strengths. Our goal is to maximize the potential for each site by integrating the program and the physical characteristics of the landscape into one composition. This focus drives our discovery of innovative solutions.
  • Sustainable practices have been a priority of this firm since 1971. The idea of biologically inspired design, or biomimetics, influences our thought and design processes.
  • A holistic approach to design, meaning we understand the balance between the natural environment and architectural resources and, in particular, how to create places for people, is part of our fundamental principles. We are keenly aware of the need to achieve a practical balance between engineering issues that require technical solutions and the particularly sensitive nature of many sites.
