Urban/Community Design

Communities where we work attest to our ability to understand and convey the values they hold dear.  We understand how development controls can be shaped to result in creative, sustainable, and resilient environments that may be transformed over time incrementally.  Working together, L/KLA identifies the spirit of the place and frames it with the community's vision to develop plans and places that can be financed, implemented and cared for by the community, often with limited access to funding sources.

 

We have written design guidelines and standards for urban, suburban and commercial corridors; for management of rural and culturally rich landscapes; for off-road bike trails and wild lands; and for homeowners' associations and single properties. Most all of the firm’s work incorporates a lively and rich public engagement process, resulting in a product that belongs to the community and is not a 'style sheet' plopped in place.
