Coen + Partners’ practice is grounded in a clear vision for addressing issues of sustainability.  Our firm has twenty years of experience designing landscapes which elegantly demonstrate that sustainability is more than ubiquitous “green” design and should be understood more holistically:

• Economically – our projects are timeless in form and material, yet constructed to be cost-effectively maintained by future generations;
• Programmatically – our spaces are programmed to be adaptable and to allow for a diverse range of users and year-round activities;
• Socially – we design landscapes that are beautiful, functional, and positively contribute to their community’s health and vitality;
• Environmentally – our projects intelligently use and reuse limited resources and work in cooperation with surrounding ecological systems.

Sustainable design is simply good design. It is guided by proven environmental practices combined with innovative strategies to implement these goals. Coen + Partners’ aim has always been to have the natural and built components of our work function with timeless and seamless ecological and aesthetic integrity.
