Coen+Partners is a nationally renowned landscape architecture practice with studios in Minneapolis and New York City. Through a process of collaboration, experimentation and questioning, our progressive work embraces the complexities of each site with quiet clarity. The success of our practice is due to our design vision and dedication to our clients.

Our landscapes are influenced by people and place. We collaborate extensively with top and emerging global design talent to create site designs integrating programmatic, architectural and ecological goals with innovation and beauty. Our interventions emphasize the materials, textures, and rhythms of our contemporary era and the regions where we work.

We create innovative architectural communities with an understanding of land, visual beauty, environmental sustainability and fiscal responsibility that is unmatched in the design community. Our collaborative teams transform bold ideas into built reality; a testament to our clients, our navigation of the regulatory process, and our collaborations.

During the past fifteen years, Coen + Partners has been acclaimed with over twenty design awards and recognized by AIA, ASLA, the Committee on Urban Environment and influential publications such as The New York Times, Metropolis, and Dwell. Coen + Partners received a Progressive Architecture citation in 2003 for Mayo Plan #1. This citation, given for the radical interpretation of a standard subdivision plat, is only the second time a landscape architecture studio has won the prestigious P/A award in its fifty-plus year history. Principal Shane Coen also received the Special Award for Collaborative Work in 2006 from the American Institute of Architects Minnesota Chapter.

Currently, Coen + Partners is collaborating with the Walker Art Center and the Carnegie Museum on ‘Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes’ a nationally traveling exhibit that opened February 16th, 2008 and is continuing presently at the Yale Art and Architecture Gallery.
