Our Regeneration Studio delivers community-, city-, and regional-scale designs and masterplans that promote regenerative, symbiotic relationships between people and the environment. The Studio’s projects range from strengthening fragile ecosystems, creating new communities that foster deep connections with the land, to complex terraforming initiatives that bring water to arid regions.

Regeneration Projects

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art

Connecting Museum with Nature

The design extends the visitor experience into the surrounding forest with outdoor gathering areas, woodland paths, and connections over new waterways.

Urban Wadi

Bringing Water to the Desert

Urban Wadi reimagines a former highway in Riyadh as a public landscape and an essential piece of flood-resilience infrastructure. It channels water through a sunken corridor and purifies it for drinking, creating a river in the desert.

Simply Shenandoah

Sacred Ground, Renewed

An eco-resort and wellness retreat on a 400+ acre site in the Shenandoah mountains, designed with tribal leaders for carbon neutral construction and operations. The project includes extensive forest and meadow restoration.

Harrat Uwayrid Nature Reserve

Connecting Past and Future in a Volcanic Landscape

A structure plan for one of western Arabia’s major volcanic fields, 120 kilometers east of the Red Sea. It sets a vision for conservation, research, and access within a fragile mountain and wadi ecosystem.

AlUla Urban Oasis Masterplan

Oasis in the City

The historic wadis of AlUla are being restored as the city’s ecological core, reviving the natural flow of water and native planting. New corridors and paths reconnect the city to its landscape.

Lake Marion

Living Within Restored Prairie

A minimalist intervention across a 22-acre private landscape of wetlands, oak savanna, and maple basswood forest. Continuous paths offer moments of reflection and connection with the land.

Soudah Masterplan

Shared Ground in the Mountains

Set along the escarpment in the Aseer mountains, paths and terraces trace the terrain to small destinations for gathering and views. The project restores previously scarred ground and brings people back to a site once forgotten.
